Ingredients
2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a bundt pan well.
2. Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces.
3. In a large bowl or zip-top bag, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
4. Toss the biscuit pieces in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated.
5. Arrange the coated pieces evenly in the prepared bundt pan.
6. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter and brown sugar.
7. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces.
8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
10. Invert it carefully onto a serving plate.
11. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
12. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm monkey bread and serve.
Notes
Grease the bundt pan very well so the monkey bread releases cleanly.
Let the bread rest for 10 minutes before inverting so the syrup can settle.
Drizzle the glaze while the bread is still warm so it melts slightly into the layers.
