Ingredients

• 16 oz Refrigerated biscuit dough
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Orange marmalade
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a standard bundt pan generously with nonstick cooking spray, ensuring all the intricate edges are coated.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. This will be the coating for the biscuit dough pieces.

Step 3

Remove the biscuit dough from the packaging. Cut each biscuit into quarters, creating bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Toss the biscuit pieces in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated. Set aside any excess cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Step 5

If using pecans, evenly sprinkle them at the bottom of the prepared bundt pan.

Step 6

Layer the coated biscuit pieces in the bundt pan, spreading them out evenly. Do not pack the pieces tightly to allow space for rising.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar, orange marmalade, vanilla extract, and any leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Pour the marmalade mixture evenly over the layered biscuit pieces in the bundt pan.

Step 10

Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffy. Be sure to place a baking sheet underneath the bundt pan in case of any drips.

Step 11

Remove the bundt pan from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate to release the monkey bread.

Step 12

Serve warm, pulling apart the pieces for a deliciously sticky, citrusy treat. Enjoy!
