Sticky Bun Monkey Bread



Monkey Bread is my go to recipe whenever the kids have a sleep over.

It's fast, it's easy, and of course everyone loves it.

So what happens when I'm tired and I miss measure one of the ingredients?

A delectable, heavenly, scrumptious new favorite.


I was just trying to change things up a bit and use the Pioneer Woman's recipe.

Her way was no messy fingers.

But I was tired, only on my first cup of coffee, and I'd hurt my elbow roller skating the night before. And I buy the bulk butter from Sam's Club.

Best kitchen mistake I've ever made!

Sticky Bun Monkey Bread
inspired by The Pioneer Woman

3 cans refrigerated biscuits
1 cups (2 sticks) butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large Ziploc bag, combine sugar and cinnamon. Shake it good so it's all combined. Set to the side.

Place butter and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and set on low for butter to melt.


Now crack those cans of biscuits and start slicing into quarters.



Place biscuit slices into the bag with your cinnamon sugar.


Now zip it closed and shake, shake, shake, shake your booty, shake your booty...

oh sorry, shake the bag to completely coat.


Start layering coated biscuit slices and chopped pecans into a greased bundt pan.











Set to the side.

Check on your butter, it should be completely melted. Stir to combine.

Pour your syrup over top of the biscuit slices.


Use it all, just look at all that melted butter!


Place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Till the biscuits are completely cooked.

Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes.


If you listen closely, you'll hear that wonderful sauce still bubbling.

Times up! Flip that baby onto a large plate. It'll pop right out.

Wipe the drool off your chin.


If your a nice mom, call the family in, or if your at my house, snap those pictures fast because everyone's already lined up with plates, forks and the milk.


This is what the plate looked like 10 minutes later
