    The holidays are the perfect time for me to experiment with new recipes-there are tons of opportunities for entertaining and events to bring desserts to.  Recently I created a new favorite when I combined two of my favorite desserts into one-Baklava Monkey Bread!

    Like my Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread, this recipe starts with Pillsbury Grands® biscuits. For this recipe I chose the butter flavored biscuits.

    Doesn't it looks delicious? So sweet and gooey!

    Ingredients

    • Pillsbury Grands® Flaky Biscuits, Butter Flavored
    • sugar
    • cinnamon
    • crushed walnuts
    • butter
    • honey
    • brown sugar

    Step by step

    1. Generously spray a bundt pan with nonstick spray.
    2. Place cinnamon and sugar in a gallon plastic bag.
    3. Rip biscuits into fourths and place in the bag.
    4. Shake the bag to coat the biscuits with the cinnamon sugar.
    5. Add biscuit pieces to the bundt pan, sprinkling walnuts in between as you layer the pieces.
    6. Heat butter, honey, and brown sugar in a small saucepan until frothy. Pour over monkey bread.
    7. Bake 35 minutes.
    8. Allow to cool 15 minutes before inverting to remove the monkey bread from the pan.

    This monkey bread pairs perfectly with my Praline Latte for a sweet breakfast duo!

    Tips for best results

    • The honey makes this monkey bread very sticky. It's important not to wait longer than 15 minutes to remove the bread from the pan as it will get harder to remove as it cools. (Don't remove too soon however or it may fall apart, I have found 15 minutes to the be the "just right" time.)
    • You can make this recipe in a loaf pan or casserole dish but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
    • Serve warm or cool.
    • Store at room temperature in an airtight container up to 3 days.

    Description

    This Baklava Monkey Bread combines the honey and walnut flavor of traditional Greek baklava with the ease and gooey goodness of Monkey Bread.


    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 2 package Pillsbury Grands Flaky Biscuits, Butter Flavored
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 tbsp cinnamon
    • ½ cup crushed walnuts
    • ½ stick butter
    • ⅓ cup honey
    • ⅓ cup brown sugar

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and generously spray a bundt pan with nonstick spray.
    2. Place cinnamon and sugar in a large plastic bag.
    3. Rip the biscuits into quarters and place into the bag.
    4. Shake the bag to thoroughly coat biscuit pieces.
    5. Layer the walnuts and biscuits pieces into the bundt pan.
    6. In a small saucepan combine butter, honey, and brown sugar.
    7. Heat over medium heat until uniform and frothy. Pour over the biscuits.
    8. Bake for 35 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.
    9. Invert onto serving plate and allow to cool 15 minutes BEFORE removing bundt pan-the honey makes this monkey bread very sticky, if you don't invert it while it's still hot you may have trouble getting it out of the pan, but if you remove the bundt before it's cooled a bit the bread may fall apart! Serve while still warm.

    Notes

    • The honey makes this monkey bread very sticky. It's important not to wait longer than 15 minutes to remove the bread from the pan as it will get harder to remove as it cools. (Don't remove too soon however or it may fall apart, I have found 15 minutes to the be the "just right" time.)
    • You can make this recipe in a loaf pan or casserole dish but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
    • Serve warm or cool.
    • Store at room temperature in an airtight container up to 3 days.

      Without a Bundt cake pan, what size pan would you use?

      If I don’t have a bundt cake pan, what can I use and what temp and how long?

        I haven't tested it but I'd do the same temperature but start checking for doneness at 18-20 minutes.
