Monkey buns, also known as monkey bread, are a delightful treat that's fun to make and even more fun to eat! These bite-sized cinnamon sugar-coated balls of dough are perfect for breakfast or as a sweet snack. The best part? You can pull them apart, just like a monkey, hence the name. Enjoy their gooey, sticky, and cinnamon-spiced goodness.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan or a 12-cup muffin tin.
Step 2
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
Step 3
Cut each biscuit into quarters. Place the biscuit pieces into the bag with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Seal the bag and shake to coat the biscuit pieces evenly.
Step 4
Arrange the coated biscuit pieces in the greased Bundt pan or muffin tin.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble.
Step 6
Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the pan.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the monkey buns are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Allow the monkey buns to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Step 9
Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate to release the monkey buns. The gooey caramelized sugar will form a delicious glaze.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart the sweet, sticky monkey buns with your fingers. They're best when eaten fresh out of the oven. Enjoy!
