Ingredients
Scale
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped pecans (optional)
¼ teaspoon salt
Icing from cinnamon roll packages
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan with non-stick spray or butter.
Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters.
In a bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Toss the cinnamon roll pieces in the sugar mixture to coat evenly.
Layer half of the coated cinnamon roll pieces in the bundt pan, then sprinkle with half of the chopped pecans (if using). Repeat with the remaining dough pieces and pecans.
In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Pour evenly over the dough in the bundt pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
Drizzle the reserved icing over the warm monkey bread and serve immediately!
Notes
For an extra touch, serve with vanilla ice cream.
Make sure to let it cool slightly before inverting to avoid breaking.
