Ingredients
Dough and Coating
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Butter Glaze
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a bundt pan to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Dough Pieces: Cut each biscuit dough into quarters and place all pieces in a large bowl. Add the sugar and ground cinnamon, then toss thoroughly to coat every piece evenly.
- Layer Dough and Blueberries: In the greased bundt pan, alternate layers of the cinnamon sugar-coated dough pieces and fresh blueberries until all the dough and fruit are used up.
- Make and Pour Butter Glaze: In a separate bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and brown sugar. Mix well, then pour this mixture uniformly over the layered dough and blueberries in the pan.
- Bake the Monkey Bread: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then invert it carefully onto a serving plate. Serve warm to enjoy the delicious gooey pull-apart texture.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen can be used but may release extra moisture.
- Ensure the bundt pan is well greased to avoid sticking and to help the bread release cleanly.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a little powdered sugar over the top before serving.
- Warm leftover monkey bread gently in the oven or microwave to revive its softness and gooey texture.
