Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters, creating bite-sized pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the quartered biscuit pieces with ground cinnamon, gently tossing to ensure even coating.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then add brown sugar and stir until completely dissolved and smooth.
- Add butterscotch chips to the butter and brown sugar mixture, stirring continuously until chips are melted and sauce is uniform.
- Pour the warm butterscotch sauce over the cinnamon-coated biscuit pieces, carefully mixing to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
- Transfer the coated biscuit pieces into the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a loose, scattered pattern.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, allowing flavors to meld and dough to slightly rise.
- Remove the dish from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking to allow it to come to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) while the monkey bread sits at room temperature.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
- Serve warm, pulling apart pieces for a gooey, delicious breakfast or dessert treat.
Tips
- Preparation is Key: Make sure to grease your baking dish thoroughly to prevent any sticky situations! A well-greased surface will ensure your monkey bread comes out perfectly.
- Chill for Flavor: Allowing the biscuit pieces to chill overnight not only enhances the flavors but also gives the dough a chance to rise slightly, resulting in a fluffier texture.
- Temperature Matters: Don’t forget to bring the baking dish to room temperature before popping it in the oven. This helps the bread bake evenly and prevents a doughy center.
- Keep an Eye on It: Ovens can vary, so start checking your monkey bread around the 25-minute mark. You want that golden brown top without overcooking!
- Serve Warm: For the best experience, serve the monkey bread warm. The gooey butterscotch sauce is at its best when it’s fresh out of the oven—perfect for pulling apart and sharing!
