Ingredients
-
2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
2 teaspoons cinnamon
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1 cup packed light brown sugar
-
1/4 cup heavy cream
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
-
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
-
1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick spray, making sure all crevices are well-coated.
-
In a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Cut each biscuit into quarters and toss them in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated.
-
Layer the coated biscuit pieces in the bundt pan, sprinkling chopped nuts between layers for added texture. Press lightly, but do not compress the dough.
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine melted butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Stir constantly until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in sea salt.
-
Pour the warm caramel mixture evenly over the layered biscuits, ensuring all pieces are coated.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Carefully invert onto a serving plate and drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top if desired.
-
Serve warm, letting everyone pull apart gooey, caramel-coated pieces.
Notes
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven for best results.
-
For a nut-free version, omit nuts or substitute with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin.
-
Use homemade caramel sauce for a richer flavor, letting it cool slightly before pouring over the biscuits.
-
Refrigerated biscuit dough is convenient, but homemade dough can be substituted for a more artisanal texture.
-
Pair with coffee, hot chocolate, or milk for an ultimate comfort experience.
