Ingredients

• 16 ounces Refrigerated biscuit dough
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 cups Brown sugar
• 2 Ripe bananas
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Crushed walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a bundt pan generously with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Roll each quarter piece into a ball.

Step 4

Toss the dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Layer the coated dough balls evenly in the prepared bundt pan.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until the mixture becomes smooth and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Mash the ripe bananas in a separate bowl and stir them into the caramel mixture along with the vanilla extract. If desired, mix in the crushed walnuts or pecans for added texture.

Step 7

Pour the banana-caramel mixture evenly over the cinnamon-sugar-coated dough balls in the bundt pan.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and bubbling. A skewer inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.

Step 9

Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy the funky, gooey, and caramel-rich treat!
