Ingredients

Scale

Monkey Bread Base

  • 1 can of canned biscuits (about 8 biscuits)
  • 4 tablespoons plant-based butter, melted

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (natural)

Sticky Glaze

  • 4 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Optional Topping

  • Powdered sugar (plant-based), for sprinkling or glaze

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the brown sugar and cinnamon (natural). Set aside for coating the biscuit pieces.
  2. Cut and Coat the Biscuits: Open the canned biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Roll each biscuit piece in melted plant-based butter, then generously coat with the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring each piece is well covered.
  3. Prepare the Sticky Glaze: In a saucepan, melt plant-based butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Stir continuously until the mixture thickens slightly. Incorporate the natural gelling agent to enhance the glaze’s body and sticky texture.
  4. Assemble the Monkey Bread: Grease a bundt pan or similar baking dish. Layer the coated biscuit pieces evenly into the pan. Pour the warm sticky glaze over the top, allowing it to seep between the biscuit pieces to flavor every bite.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Bubbling: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and the glaze is bubbly. Remove from oven and let the Monkey Bread cool slightly before inverting onto a serving plate.

Notes

  • Use room temperature plant-based butter to help the coating adhere evenly to the biscuit pieces.
  • Ensure each biscuit piece is well coated for maximum cinnamon sugar flavor in every bite.
  • Grease the pan thoroughly to ensure easy release and an attractive presentation.
  • Monitor the baking to avoid over-browning as oven temperatures may vary.
  • Allow the Monkey Bread to rest briefly after baking to let the glaze set perfectly.
