Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can canned biscuits (gluten-free if desired)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/4 cup grape juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Open the canned biscuits and cut each biscuit into halves or quarters depending on your preferred size to create bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar with cinnamon to prepare for coating.
  2. Coat the Biscuit Pieces: Melt the plant-based butter and stir in the natural vanilla extract. Quickly dip each biscuit piece into the butter mixture, then toss it into the cinnamon-sugar mixture until each piece is thoroughly coated to ensure a sticky and flavorful bite.
  3. Layer in Your Baking Dish: Lightly grease a bundt pan or baking dish with plant-based butter. Evenly pile the coated biscuit pieces inside, layering them to allow the bread to bake into gooey clusters that pull apart easily.
  4. Create the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, plant-based butter, natural gelling agent, and grape juice. Warm the mixture gently over low heat until smooth and slightly thickened. Pour this glaze evenly over the biscuit pieces in the baking dish, allowing it to seep through all layers.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the monkey bread for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is golden brown with a glossy, sticky sugar coating. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before handling.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Invert the monkey bread onto a plate or board so that the sticky glaze is on top. Serve warm and enjoy this indulgent sweet treat with family and friends.

Notes

  • Prep ahead by cutting and coating biscuit pieces a day before and refrigerate for faster assembly.
  • Watch the bake time after 30 minutes to avoid over-baking and maintain moistness.
  • Use a fork to gently toss biscuit pieces in the glaze for even coating.
  • Using a bundt pan helps the syrup pool perfectly around the dough for maximum stickiness.
  • Let the bread rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow the glaze to thicken for easier pulling apart.
