Treat yourself to Blueberry Monkey Bread! This recipe makes gooey, cinnamon-sugar coated biscuit bites, bursting with fresh blueberries. Simple steps and complete nutrition details await.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 10-12 cup Bundt pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Open the biscuit cans and cut each biscuit into quarters. In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Add the cut biscuit pieces and toss gently until well coated.
  2. Step 2: Arrange about half of the sugar-coated biscuit pieces evenly in the bottom of the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle half of the fresh blueberries over the biscuits. Repeat with the remaining biscuit pieces and the rest of the blueberries, distributing them evenly.
  3. Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup unsalted butter. Add the 1 cup packed light brown sugar to the melted butter and whisk until well combined and smooth. Carefully pour this brown sugar-butter mixture evenly over the biscuit and blueberry layers in the Bundt pan.
  4. Step 4: Bake the monkey bread in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until it's golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges. A skewer inserted should come out relatively clean, though the bottom will be gooey. Let the monkey bread cool in the Bundt pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Step 5: After cooling, place a large serving plate over the top of the Bundt pan and carefully invert the monkey bread onto the plate. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Drizzle this glaze over the warm monkey bread before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Keep any leftover monkey bread tightly covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; the glaze might slightly firm up when chilled.
  • To enjoy leftovers, gently warm individual pieces in the microwave for 15-30 seconds until gooey again, or a larger portion in an oven preheated to 300°F (150°C) for about 10-15 minutes, tented with foil to prevent over-browning.
  • While fantastic on its own for breakfast or dessert, try serving warm monkey bread with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream for an extra special treat.
  • For effortless removal and perfectly formed monkey bread, be extra generous when greasing your Bundt pan, ensuring every nook and cranny is coated – it really makes a difference for this gooey delight!
