  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Biscuit Dough

  • 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters

Sugar Coating

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Caramel Sauce & Topping

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease a bundt pan to ensure the monkey bread doesn’t stick after baking.
  2. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon until evenly blended to create the sugar coating.
  3. Coat Biscuit Pieces: Toss the biscuit dough quarters in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Layer Biscuit and Pecans: Evenly layer the coated biscuit pieces and chopped pecans into the greased bundt pan, distributing them uniformly.
  5. Prepare Caramel Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and caramel sauce until well combined to create a rich topping.
  6. Pour Over Biscuits: Pour the caramel and butter mixture evenly over the layered biscuits and pecans in the bundt pan to saturate all pieces.
  7. Bake: Place the bundt pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the caramel is bubbly.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a plate. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, nutty treat.

Notes

  • Place the bundt pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips of caramel during baking for easy cleanup.
  • Let the monkey bread rest briefly before flipping to prevent burns from hot caramel.
  • Best served warm to enjoy the gooey texture and flavors fully.
  • Can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave to restore warmth.
