Ingredients

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cans (16.3 ounce) refrigerated canned biscuit dough like Pillsbury Grands refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • ¾ cup butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a gallon-size plastic storage bag.
  • Remove the biscuit dough from the cans and separate into 16 biscuits. Use a sharp knife to cut each biscuit into quarters. Place 4 biscuit pieces in the bag and shake it up to coat the pieces well. Arrange them in the prepared pan and repeat with the remaining biscuit pieces, sprinkling with chopped pecans as you layer.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and pure maple syrup. Spoon the mixture evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully invert onto a serving plate and serve warm.

Notes

Storage
Leftovers should be covered and stored at room temperature and for the best quality, consumed within 24 hours. For longer storage leftover monkey bread can be refrigerated for up to a week. Warm leftovers briefly in the microwave before serving.
Variations
  • Nuts - Try it with walnuts or cashews instead of pecans. Or you can leave the nuts out altogether if you want.
  • Spices - The cinnamon sugar mixture is classic for coating the dough but try adding a little pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice for a seasonal twist.
  • Add-ins - Sprinkle in some raisins or dried cherries. Or for an indulgent treat, layer the biscuit pieces with mini chocolate chips.
