Instructions

Prepare the Monkey Bread Dough:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter, ensuring it’s well-coated so the monkey bread doesn’t stick.
Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the cans of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters. This will allow the pieces to pull apart easily once baked.
Mix Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Mix well.
Coat the Dough Pieces: Roll each quartered biscuit piece in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Arrange the coated biscuit pieces in the prepared bundt pan, layering them evenly as you go.
Add Blueberries: Once you have a layer of dough, sprinkle a handful of fresh blueberries over the top. Continue layering the dough and blueberries until the bundt pan is full, finishing with a layer of dough on top.

Make the Sweet Syrup:

Prepare the Syrup: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Bring it to a simmer for about 2 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Pour Over Dough: Pour the warm syrup over the biscuit dough and blueberries, ensuring all the dough is coated. It will sink down into the layers and soak into the dough as it bakes.

Bake the Monkey Bread:

Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and the dough is cooked through. You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread—it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool: Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This allows the syrup to set and makes it easier to remove the bread from the pan.

Serve and Enjoy:

Invert and Serve: After 10 minutes of cooling, carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate. Gently tap the bottom of the pan to release the monkey bread. Serve while warm, and enjoy the gooey, sticky goodness!
