Tip: For even coating, divide the biscuits and sugar mixture between two bags.
Place the coated biscuit pieces into the prepared bundt pan, spreading them out evenly. Avoid dumping excess sugar and cinnamon into the pan to prevent clumping.
Make the Sauce:
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
1 cup unsalted butter
Add the brown sugar and stir until fully dissolved and combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
½ cup brown sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Assemble and Bake:
Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the bundt pan.
Bake for 35-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and a crust has formed.
Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
Carefully invert onto a plate or platter and serve warm.
