This monkey bread recipe is a blend of two existing recipes. The idea was courtesy of the St. Louis Post Dispatch. It's a sweet monkey bread with a special ingredient — salty bacon!
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 package bacon , 12 ounce
- 0.5 cups margarine
- 0.75 cups packed dark brown sugar
- 0.5 cups maple syrup
- 0.75 cups white sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 packages refrigerated biscuit dough , 16.3 ounce
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat the inside of a 9-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt) with cooking spray.
-
2
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Crumble when cool enough to handle; discard any pieces that are all fat.
-
3
Melt margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir in brown sugar and maple syrup and bring to a boil. Cook and stir until mixture begins to foam, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
-
4
Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a resealable plastic bag. Add 6 to 8 biscuit pieces at a time to the bag; shake until well coated. Place sugared biscuits onto a plate and repeat to coat the rest.
-
5
Empty any sugar mixture from the resealable bag into maple syrup mixture; place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes.
-
6
Make four layers of ingredients in the prepared pan as follows: bacon, maple syrup mixture, biscuits. Finish with the last drizzle of maple syrup mixture.
-
7
Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are cooked through, about 35 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 to 20 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
