Equipment

  • Bundt Pan- 12 cups/10 inch in diameter

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup dark brown sugar
  • ¾ cup butter
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 Cans Grand Buttermilk Biscuits 16 oz with 8 biscuits in each (or four 7.5 oz cans with 10 biscuits in each regular sized buttermilk biscuits)
  • ¾ cup walnuts chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray (like Pam). Make sure to spray thoroughly so monkey bread doesn’t stick.
  • Cut each grand biscuit into quarters, giving you 32 pieces to a can. If using 7.5 oz cans cut each biscuit into quarters too, giving you 40 pieces to a can.

  • Optional: While cutting you can to toss the cut biscuit pieces into a bag with some extra brown sugar. This step is optional and I recommend it only if you have the time.

  • In a microwave safe measuring cup, add butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat heating until melted. Stir mixture until combined- you might need to restir if it separates. *

  • If using walnuts spread ¼ cup along the bottom of the bundt pan. Pour ~¼ cup of the butter sugar mixture along the bottom of the pan.
    ¾ cup walnuts
  • Layer 16 of the grand biscuit pieces into the bundt pan (or 40 of the regular sized biscuit pieces) . Then drizzle with ¼ cup of the sugar butter mixture (stirring to redistribute brown sugar if needed), and another ¼ cup of chopped walnuts (if using nuts).

  • Repeat two more times using all the cut biscuits, walnuts (if using), and cinnamon butter sugar mixture.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. * The top of the pull apart will be golden brown and if you have a thermometer, check to make sure the internal temperature is 195-200°F at minimum. If the top (which will be the bottom once you flip it) is getting too dark just cover it with foil and continue baking.
