Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Non-stick cooking spray or butter for greasing
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- Open the biscuit dough can and cut each biscuit into four equal pieces.
- Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Coat the Dough Pieces:
- Dip each dough piece into the melted butter, then coat it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Layer the Dough in the Pan:
- Lightly grease an air fryer-safe bundt pan or round cake pan.
- Arrange the coated dough pieces evenly in the pan.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar on top for extra caramelization.
Air Fry the Monkey Bread:
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
- Place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook for 15-18 minutes, checking at the 10-minute mark.
- If the top browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil for the remaining time.
Cool and Serve:
- Let the monkey bread cool for 5 minutes before flipping it onto a plate.
- Enjoy warm, optionally drizzled with icing or caramel sauce.
Notes
- Use homemade biscuit dough if preferred.
- Add nuts, chocolate chips, or raisins for extra texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer at 300°F for 2-3 minutes.
- If using a smaller air fryer, cook in batches to ensure even air circulation.
