Ingredients
- 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker:
- Lightly grease the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Sugar and Cinnamon:
- In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
- Prepare the Biscuits:
- Open the cans of biscuit dough and separate them into individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into four pieces.
- Coat the Biscuits:
- Roll each piece of biscuit dough in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Layer in the Slow Cooker:
- Place a layer of the coated biscuit pieces in the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle a portion of the chopped nuts over the biscuits if using. Repeat the layers until all biscuit pieces are used.
- Make the Caramel Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the Sauce:
- Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the layered biscuit pieces in the slow cooker.
- Cook:
- Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low heat for 2 to 3 hours or until the biscuits are cooked through and the mixture is bubbly.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, carefully turn off the slow cooker and remove the lid. Allow the monkey bread to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm by gently pulling apart the pieces.
