Monkey bread is a delightful and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a sweet, fluffy bread that is made by layering biscuits with a rich and creamy mixture. The best part about monkey bread is that it can be made using simple ingredients, including biscuits. In this article, we will guide you through the process of how to make monkey bread out of biscuits, ensuring that you end up with a delicious and impressive dessert.
Ingredients
Before you start making monkey bread, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 package (18 biscuits) of your favorite biscuits
– 1 cup of melted butter
– 1 cup of brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (optional)
– 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
3. Open the package of biscuits and break them into pieces. You can use your hands or a knife to do this. Add the biscuit pieces to the butter mixture and toss them until they are well coated.
4. If you want to add chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them into the biscuit mixture at this stage.
5. Transfer the biscuit mixture to the greased loaf pan. Press the biscuits down slightly to form a tight layer.
6. Bake the monkey bread in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are puffed and crispy.
7. Remove the monkey bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, invert the monkey bread onto a serving plate.
8. Drizzle the monkey bread with additional melted butter and sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
9. Serve the monkey bread warm and enjoy!
