Ingredients
2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
cooking spray or butter for greasing pan
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a bundt pan or baking dish very well with cooking spray or butter.
2. Cut each biscuit into quarters and set the pieces aside.
3. In a large bowl or zip-top bag, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
4. Toss the biscuit pieces in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
5. Arrange the coated dough pieces in the prepared pan.
6. Melt the butter, then stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
7. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the dough pieces in the pan.
8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through.
9. Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 8 to 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
10. Whisk the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
11. Drizzle the glaze over the warm monkey bread and serve.
Notes
For the best texture, serve Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread while it is still warm so the glaze stays soft and the center stays gooey.
Grease the pan generously so the caramel coating releases cleanly when you invert the bread.
If you want extra cinnamon roll flavor, add a little more cinnamon to the sugar mixture or finish with an extra drizzle of glaze.
