Ingredients

16.3 oz can refrigerated biscuits I use Pillsbury Grands Southern Homestyle variety
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 cup powdered sugar whisked or sifted to remove lumps
2 Tbsp whole milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9" pie pan. Set aside.
Melt butter, stir in salt, and set aside to cool slightly.
While butter is cooling, combine cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small bowl and stir well to combine.

Prepare biscuits

Remove biscuits from the can, and slice each biscuit into 4 equally sized pieces.
Roll the biscuit pieces into balls.

Dip and roll

Dip a ball of dough into the melted butter, then add to the bowl with the cinnamon sugar and roll to coat.
Transfer to prepared pie pan, then repeat with remaining balls of dough.

Bake

Bake, uncovered, in preheated oven for 20-23 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown.

Make glaze

While the monkey bread is baking, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Glaze monkey bread

When the monkey bread bites are finished baking, remove from the oven and drizzle with about half of the glaze (reserving the other half of the glaze for dipping).

Serve

Serve warm for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, and enjoy!
