Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can plant-based biscuit dough
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter

Glaze Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Optional Variations

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for Nutty Delight)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, raisins, or chopped dates (for Fruit Infusion)
  • Maple syrup (natural), substitution for brown sugar (for Maple Twist)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based chocolate chips (for Chocolate Lover’s)
  • Pinch of nutmeg or cardamom (natural) (for Spiced Up)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough Pieces: Heat the oven and generously grease your baking pan with plant-based butter. Cut the plant-based biscuit dough into bite-sized pieces to ensure easy coating and a fun pull-apart texture.
  2. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon (natural). Roll each dough piece in this sugar blend until fully coated to create a sticky, flavorful exterior.
  3. Layer in the Pan: Place each coated dough piece into the prepared pan, layering evenly to allow the sugar and juices to caramelize perfectly during baking.
  4. Make the Glaze: In a saucepan, combine the plant-based butter, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, and natural gelling agent. Heat gently until smooth and shiny, then pour over the layered dough pieces in the pan.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Bake the Monkey Bread until cooked through and golden on top, typically 25 to 30 minutes. The aroma will be warm and inviting.
  6. Add the Final Touch: Once slightly cooled, mix powdered sugar (natural) with vanilla extract (natural) and drizzle this glaze over the Monkey Bread for an irresistible finishing sweetness.

Notes

  • Use fresh plant-based biscuit dough for the best texture and rise.
  • Ensure each dough piece is well coated with cinnamon sugar for maximum flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd dough pieces in the pan to allow for perfect caramelization.
  • Check baking time and look for golden brown tops and fully cooked centers.
  • Allow Monkey Bread to cool for a few minutes before serving to make pulling apart easier.
