A quick and easy cinnamon pull-apart monkey bread with a gooey caramel glaze, perfect for cozy breakfasts or brunches. Made with refrigerated biscuit dough for a soft, fluffy texture and a sticky, buttery caramel finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (about 16 oz / 450 g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115 g), melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar (200 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Cut the biscuit dough into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch chunks.
  3. In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir well.
  4. Toss the biscuit pieces in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
  5. Layer the coated dough pieces evenly in the bundt pan.
  6. In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and glossy.
  7. Pour the caramel glaze evenly over the layered dough pieces.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and glaze is bubbling. Tent with foil after 25 minutes if browning too quickly.
  9. Cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow caramel to set slightly.
  10. Serve warm and pull apart with fingers or a fork.

Notes

Grease the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil after 25 minutes. For even cooking, rearrange the pan halfway through baking if needed. The caramel glaze should be melted gently and stirred constantly to avoid burning. Can be assembled the night before and refrigerated for baking fresh in the morning.
