Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Coating

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (gluten-free if preferred)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted plant-based butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Caramel Sauce

  • 1/4 cup unsalted plant-based butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Garnish (Optional)

  • Powdered sugar (plant-based) (natural)
  • Plant-based milk (natural) for glaze
  • Fresh sliced strawberries or blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough Pieces: Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and better absorption of the cinnamon sugar coating.
  2. Mix Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a bowl, thoroughly combine the brown sugar (natural) and cinnamon (natural) to create a sweet, aromatic mixture for coating the dough.
  3. Coat the Dough: Roll each piece of dough in softened plant-based butter, then dredge generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. If desired, toss with chopped nuts for added texture.
  4. Layer the Pieces in the Pan: Place the coated dough pieces evenly in a bundt pan or deep round baking pan to form layers that will bake into a pull-apart loaf.
  5. Make the Caramel Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt plant-based butter with brown sugar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and apple cider vinegar. Stir until the mixture is rich, glossy, and well combined. Pour this caramel sauce evenly over the layered dough pieces in the pan.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling through the bread.
  7. Cool and Invert: Allow the Monkey Bread to cool slightly in the pan. Carefully invert it onto a serving plate so the caramel sauce drips attractively over the bread.

Notes

  • Use room temperature plant-based butter to help the cinnamon sugar stick better to the dough.
  • Handle dough gently to keep it soft and tender; avoid overmixing.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment coated with a natural gelling agent or lightly grease to prevent sticking.
  • Ensure the oven is properly preheated for an even bake and perfect golden crust.
  • Cool the bread slightly before inverting to allow the sauce to thicken and prevent excess dripping.
