Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a bundt pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.

  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough from each can and separate into triangles. Cut each triangle into 3 smaller triangles.

  4. Dip each small triangle of dough into the cinnamon sugar mixture, making sure to coat all sides. For variations, add chopped pecans or a small piece of chocolate and a sprinkle of cocoa powder before rolling in the sugar mixture.

  5. Layer the coated dough pieces in the prepared bundt pan, alternating flavors if desired.

  6. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in pecans if using.

  7. Pour the butter mixture over the layered dough in the bundt pan, distributing evenly.

  8. Bake the monkey bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  9. Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.

  10. Serve warm, pulling apart the gooey pieces and enjoying the flavors.
