Ingredients
- 2-3 12 ounce packages refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup melted salted butter
- 1/2 cup raisins
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Grease a 10 inch Bundt pan with butter. IF you are using a smaller bundt pan, use only TWO tubes of dough!
-
Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a large plastic bag.
-
Pop open the biscuit dough and separate into the biscuits.
-
Cut the biscuits into quarters.
-
Place 6 to 8 biscuit pieces into the butter mixture then into the sugar cinnamon mix and shake until they are covered.. Arrange the biscuit pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan.
-
Continue placing them into the bunt pan, staggering the pieces in layers until all biscuits are coated and placed in pan.
-
Sprinkle the raisins among the biscuit pieces as you place them in.
-
Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until fully browned and cooked inside. The bread should be a good 200F inside to be baked completely. IF the top browns too much, place tinfoil on top.
-
Let the monkey bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate to serve.
-
Pull apart and enjoy!
