Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 32 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough about two 16-ounce cans
  • 1 cups mashed ripe bananas about 2 medium bananas
  • 0.75 cups granulated sugar for coating
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.75 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoons fine salt
  • 0.5 cups chopped walnuts optional
  • 0.75 cups powdered sugar glaze
  • 1 tablespoons milk glaze
  • 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract glaze

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan with butter or nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Cut the biscuit dough into 1.0-inch pieces, then toss the pieces in the cinnamon sugar to coat.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, mashed bananas, brown sugar, 1.0 teaspoon vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  • Layer half of the coated dough pieces in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the walnuts, then drizzle with half of the banana-butter mixture.
  • Repeat with remaining dough, walnuts, and banana-butter mixture, finishing with a drizzle over the top.
  • Bake until deep golden and bubbling, about 35 minutes. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Let cool another 10 minutes.
  • Make the glaze: whisk powdered sugar, milk, and 0.25 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm monkey bread. Pull apart and serve.

Notes

Tip: Very ripe bananas add the best flavor. For extra banana, fold in 0.25 cups additional mashed banana and increase bake time by 5 minutes if needed. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate up to 4 days; rewarm before serving.
