Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons orange zest
- 2 (16.5-ounce) cans refrigerated biscuits
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup fresh orange juice
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a bundt pan with pan spray, making sure to coat the center and all crevices.
- Use a fork to mash 3 tablespoons orange zest into ⅔ cup granulated sugar until fragrant to release the oils.
- Cut 2 (16.5-ounce) cans refrigerated biscuits into quarters.
- Toss the biscuits in a large ziplock with the orange sugar until all of the biscuit pieces are fully coated.
- Transfer the biscuit pieces to the bundt pan, distributing them evenly.
- Add 1 cup unsalted butter, ¾ cup brown sugar, ⅓ cup fresh orange juice, and ⅛ teaspoon salt to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until boiling. Boil for 2 minutes before pouring the syrup over the biscuits in the pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Let the monkey bread cool for 5-10 minutes before turning it upside down onto a heat-proof plate. Carefully lift the pan off and serve.
