Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9-inch bundt pan or tube pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Whisk these dry ingredients together until thoroughly mixed and evenly distributed.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit dough cans and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- Roll each biscuit quarter in the prepared spice-sugar mixture, ensuring each piece is completely coated with the fragrant mixture.
- Begin layering the coated biscuit pieces in the prepared bundt pan, creating a random, stacked arrangement.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and eggnog until well combined and smooth.
- Slowly pour the butter-eggnog mixture evenly over the layered biscuit pieces, allowing it to seep between the layers.
- Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes to allow the sticky coating to set.
- Carefully invert the monkey bread onto a serving plate, allowing it to release from the pan. If needed, tap the bottom of the pan to help release.
- Serve warm, pulling apart the sticky, spiced pieces. Optional: dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with additional eggnog glaze for extra decadence.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the spice-sugar mixture in advance and store it in an airtight container. This way, you’ll have everything ready to go when you’re ready to bake!
- Customize Your Spices: Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. If you love a bit more warmth, add an extra pinch of cinnamon or even a dash of clove for a unique twist.
- Use Quality Eggnog: For the best flavor, opt for a high-quality eggnog. Homemade eggnog can take this recipe to the next level, but store-bought works just as well!
- Don’t Rush the Cooling: Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before inverting it. This helps the sticky coating set and makes for easier removal.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra touch of indulgence, serve your monkey bread with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of eggnog glaze on top. It’s the perfect finishing touch!
