Ingredients

Scale

Monkey Bread Ingredients

  • 1 can of canned biscuits (ensure gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons plant-based butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Generously grease a bundt pan with plant-based butter to ensure easy removal and a crispy bottom crust.
  2. Cut and Coat Biscuits: Cut each canned biscuit into quarters. In a bowl, toss the biscuit pieces with melted plant-based butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar until all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Layer in the Pan: Arrange the coated biscuit pieces in the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle additional brown sugar and cinnamon mixture between layers for extra gooeyness.
  4. Add Natural Gelling Agent Mixture: In a small saucepan, gently heat plant-based butter, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent until combined and slightly thickened. Pour this mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the pan.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and bubbling with caramelized sauce.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a serving plate. This allows the sticky sauce to thicken perfectly for serving.

Notes

  • Make sure every biscuit piece is well coated in cinnamon sugar for even flavor.
  • Do not skip buttering the bundt pan to allow easy removal and a nice crispy bottom.
  • Watch the baking time closely to avoid drying out the bread; look for a golden finish and bubbling caramel.
  • Use fresh cinnamon for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Serve the monkey bread warm to enjoy the gooey, sticky texture at its best.
