Description

This Blueberry Monkey Bread is a delightful, gooey pull-apart bread featuring tender biscuit dough coated in cinnamon sugar, layered with fresh blueberries, and topped with a luscious brown sugar butter glaze. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack, this easy-to-make recipe bakes into a golden, sticky-sweet treat that’s sure to please the entire family.


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

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a bundt pan to prevent sticking.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
