  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously spray a Bundt pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Cut in cubed butter using a pastry blender or a fork until the butter is the size of small peas.
  4. Pour in milk and stir until combined. Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for a few seconds to bring dough together.
  5. Add the melted butter to a small bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  6. Shape the dough into balls about the size of a gumball. Dip each ball into the melted butter, then roll into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and arrange in the prepared pan. Repeat until no dough remains. (Set aside any leftover butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture.)
  7. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the biscuits comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then gently loosen the monkey bread from the sides of the pan with a knife before turning out onto a serving plate.
  8. Combine the leftover butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring almost constantly until all sugar is dissolved. Drizzle over monkey bread and serve immediately.
