Ingredients

• 1 16-ounce can Refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Spray a large microwave-safe bowl or bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well.

Step 4

Toss the biscuit pieces into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Step 5

Place the coated biscuit pieces into the prepared microwave-safe bowl, arranging them evenly.

Step 6

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 30 seconds in the microwave). Once melted, stir in the brown sugar until combined.

Step 7

Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the bowl.

Step 8

Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, checking at the 4-minute mark. The monkey bread should look puffed up and the sugar mixture should be bubbling.

Step 9

Allow the monkey bread to cool for 3-5 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a plate if desired, or serve directly from the bowl.

Step 10

Pull apart pieces of the monkey bread and enjoy while warm!
