Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Canned biscuits: 1 can (10 count)
- Brown sugar (natural): 1 cup
- Cinnamon (natural): 2 teaspoons
- Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce: 1 teaspoon
- Apple cider vinegar: 1 teaspoon
- Plant-based butter: 6 tablespoons (softened)
- Vanilla extract (natural): 1 teaspoon
Optional Variations
- Chopped walnuts or pecans: 1/2 cup
- Dried cranberries or raisins: 1/3 cup
- Ground nutmeg or cardamom: 1/4 teaspoon
- Lemon or orange zest: 1 teaspoon
- Vegan chocolate chips: 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough Pieces: Open your canned biscuits and separate them into individual pieces. Cut each biscuit into quarters so they are bite-sized and perfect for coating.
- Mix the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar (natural), cinnamon (natural), and a splash of vanilla extract (natural). Toss the biscuit pieces in softened plant-based butter, then coat them well in the cinnamon sugar mixture to ensure every piece gets a sweet crust.
- Layer the Pieces: Generously grease a bundt pan with plant-based butter. Layer the coated biscuit quarters evenly around the pan, pushing them close together so they bake into a pull-apart masterpiece.
- Baking Time: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the sugar is bubbling. The kitchen will fill with a wonderful aroma.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. This rest helps the sweetness set and makes it easier to pull apart and enjoy.
Notes
- Make sure every biscuit piece is well coated in plant-based butter before rolling in cinnamon sugar for maximum flavor.
- Use freshly ground cinnamon (natural) to elevate the aroma and taste.
- Grease the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy release.
- Check the bread around 30 minutes for a golden-brown top and bubbling sugar as ovens vary.
- Serve the bread warm for best taste; reheat gently to retain softness.
