Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 can of canned biscuits (soft, fluffy dough)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (natural flavoring)

Sticky Syrup

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prep and Cut the Biscuits: Open the canned biscuits and carefully separate each one. Cut every biscuit into quarters to create small, bite-sized pieces that will soak up all that glorious cinnamon sugar and syrup.
  2. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Toss the biscuit pieces gently in the mixture until each piece is coated evenly, giving every bite a sweet and spicy crust.
  3. Prepare the Sticky Syrup: Melt the plant-based butter in a saucepan and combine with brown sugar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, and the natural gelling agent. Stir until everything is melted and syrupy, ready to bind your monkey bread together.
  4. Assemble in the Pan: Layer the cinnamon-sugar coated biscuit pieces into a bundt or baking pan. Pour the sticky syrup evenly over the pile, ensuring the biscuits are well coated and ready to turn golden in the oven.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake your creation at 350°F (175°C) for about 35-40 minutes until the top is caramelized and bubbling, and the biscuits inside are fluffy and tender.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the Monkey Bread cool for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate. Pull apart the sticky bites and enjoy warm for that melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

Notes

  • Use the freshest canned biscuits for the fluffiest texture.
  • Ensure biscuit pieces are thoroughly coated with cinnamon sugar for consistent flavor.
  • Lightly grease your baking pan to prevent sticking and ease removal.
  • Watch baking time closely toward the end to avoid overbrowning while ensuring a gooey center.
  • Allow cooling so the natural gelling agent sets for ideal pull-apart texture.
