Monkey Bread

from Grilled Cheese Social

2 tubes cinnamon rolls (17.5 oz each)

1/2 cup white sugar

1.5 tsp cinnamon (divided)

1 stick butter

1 cup brown sugar

cooking spray

flaky salt garnish

 

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• Mix white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a small bowl.
• Cut each cinnamon bun into quarters and toss with the cinnamon sugar and set aside.
• In a small pot, melt butter over medium heat and add brown sugar and remaining cinnamon. Stir and let it simmer and “fluff up” for about 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spray a bundt pan with nonstick spray and add half of the quartered cinnamon buns.
• When the brown sugar butter mixture has thickened, immediately pour half of it over the first layer of chopped cinnamon buns.
• Then add the remaining cinnamon buns and the remaining brown sugar butter mixture on top and place in the oven for 30-40 minutes.
• Once it’s ready, the top will be golden brown and the sauce will be bubbling along the sides.
• Remove it from the oven and immediately (and carefully!) flip it over onto a serving platter.
• Sprinkle with a little bit of salt and serve with the icing packets for dunking.
