Years ago I had a recipe like this one and strangely started thinking about this the other day. Mine was slightly different, but I don’t have a clue where that recipe is. I do remember I didn’t use syrup in mine, but I put a thin slice of apple between each biscuit. I shook the biscuits in the sugar in a zipper bag. Probably it popped into my head because it’s Fall again and apples are plentiful. Gonna have to make some! 5 stars because I can remember how good it was. Thanks for reminding me how it’s done!Reply

I hate it when you start putting tohether recipte like these and find something in the instructions that was not linted in the supplies need. Example here is the need for Cooking “Cooking Spray”. This item was not listed and showed up later in the directions; can’t assume everyone has this onhand. I don’t normally use this.Thanks Randy

It’s no big deal. I don’t always use cooking spray either. Just use a piece of paper towel with oil and wipe down the pan. Works the same way.

I made this recipe but altered it a little. I bought grands biscuits and cut them into quarters. I mixed the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and tossed the quartered biscuits in the mix so that they were all coated. I spooned half the syrup mixture on the bottom and then layered the biscuit mixture on top. I poured the rest of the syrup mixture over all. After it was done baking and while it was still warm I spread cream cheese frosting over the top. It was delicious and my kids loved it. It was a take on pull apart bread.

Made this for a coffee and donut get together. It was fantastic, went over very well. Many asked for the recipe. I added chopped walnuts and they tasted like sticky buns. I will be making this recipe again.

I just made these.. Wow! They’re very yummy and so easy! I read reviews first so I did coat each biscuit with the cinnamon/sugar mix first, and I doubled the cinnamon to 1 tsp. Very good! Will definitely make again, and kids LOVED them! Thanks for the recipe!

I made these today and the only problem I had was they weren’t done on the bottom. They were still doughy. So I will be putting them back in the oven but this time they are on a pizza pan. I think next time I will have to use fewer biscuits

We have made this for yrs. I melt butter on stove on low. Then add all other ingredients. That way it is hot when you put your biscuits in. Try next time to see if it helps. I put more glaze in bottom of pan with chopped pecans. Let set 5 minutes when done & turn onto pretty plate.

Do you turn the pan upside down when they are done to get them out?

We were raised Just roll the biscuits in butter, shake in sack with suger and cinn. Then place over laping in cookie sheet.. Just add cinn to taist. also you can cut holes and deep fry, then go to sack with sugar and cinn. ENJOY

I am not sure my comment made it to you — a question really. The recipe indicates that nuts are optional, but it doesn’t address how to include them. Do they go in the bottom of the pan and then again on top or where? Thank you!

I enjoy reading new recipes. This cinnamon roll recipe sounds delicious. I may try it with honey instead of syrup for a little bit of a healthier version.

made these yesterday morning, came out pretty good. I did roll each pc in the mixture before adding to the pan & it helped spread the flavor to everything. I can see so many ways to doctor these up. Like adding some orange zest & maybe some cranberries. Walnuts & or pecans with some raisins, maybe even some bits of appleReply
Jan Taylor says
I’m not very fond of syrup. Is there someone I could use in place of the syrup? This sounds so good otherwise!
Reply
Holly says
Something probably just as delicious, less messy & less ingredients to use if you use the same general process but substitute with was cans of pillsbury cinnamon rolls. Plus then you will have the icing to top it with…just a thought 🙂

Can you replace the pancake syrup with karo syrup? I am not a huge fan of maple syrup flavor but I want the sticky gooeyness. 🙂

You could certainly try that. Would love to hear how they turn out for you.

I made this for breakfast this morning, but I used a loaf pan instead of a bundt pan, and I used 10 biscuits instead of 20. Worked great, and was just enough for me and my 3 kids. It was really good and they loved it!Reply

I grew up with my mom making what we called sticky buns. There were a lot of us and they were cheap and yummy. The recipe is east to remember because its 1.2.3.4. 1 package bisquits. 2 TBSP butter 3 TBSP brown sugar and 1/4 th cup pancake syrup. Put in a pyrex pie pan. Melt in microwave for a minute or so and stir. Place 10 pk biscuits down over mixture in one layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes in a 350 degree weather and when done invert on a plate. Be careful, they’re super hot. All the buttery goodness will drip down over the bisquits. Yum!

Of course I meant 350 degree oven NOT weather, haha! These freezing cold temps are getting to me!

I tried this recipe and I really liked it and I will make it again but my only problem was getting it out of the pan. I think it really would have looked very pretty also but unfortunately mine broke in half. Really has a good taste, good coffee companion.Reply

Where do you put the nuts if using them? Gotta have nuts in them.

I made these they are very good. I used the grands buttermilk biscuits there are 8 in each can when done baking they looked so pretty in my bunt pan I like the idea of dipping each biscuit in cinnamon sugar on both sides will try that next time.Reply

My daughter made these for years for church, scouts,4H demos, school projects, etc.
She used regular 10 ct biscuits or Grands biscuits – just whatever we had on hand.
If she was using the 10 ct biscuits she cut each biscuit into 4 pieces.
If she was u sing the grands biscuits she cut each biscuit into 8 pieces.
We didn’t have a bundt pan but we did have a large tube pan so she used it.
She mixed the 1/3 c brown sugar; 1/3 cup white sugar, and 1-2 teaspoons cinnamon together in a large ziploc bag.
She melted 3-4 tablespoons butter in bowl in microwave.
Spray the pan with coating of pam.
Dip several pieces of dough into the butter then into the sugar mixture coating pieces well then place in pan.
Continue coating pieces of dough into the butter then sugar mixture until all are coated and placed in the pan.
If you have any sugar mixture or butter left over, mix them both together and then sprinkle over the top.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until done.
Flip onto serving plate and “dig in” with your fingers for some of the best Monkey Bread you will ever eat.
For a variation you could chop some apples and maybe some raisins , dip dough in butter, sugar mixture, then apples or raisins or both then put in pan. Cook with same directions above.Reply

Been doing this for years, but use maple syrup (much better) and I just use 1 package, and a round cake pan. They fit all around, with 1 or 2 in the middle. Put all ingredients ( I add a bit of butter) in the bottom of the pan, heat/melt on a low stove a bit, then put in the biscuits and bake in the oven. After removing, flip onto a plate, as in upside down cake. All the goo runs all down and over.

I tried making cinnamon rolls using grands biscuits in a round layer cake pan. I put cinnamon brown sugar on top and then poured melted butter on top. Some of the tops were hard but they were still good. I will try this using the cheaper biscuits and putting cinnamon and brown sugar between the biscuits.

I tried these once and the middles where they overlapped didn’t get the cinnamon mixture. If you just cut the biscuits in 4ths and use the same Cinnamon mixture….put the mixture in a big bowl and put the cut up biscuits into it and cover all of them….put them into a square or round or whatever pan that’s sprayed…..then bake as it says above and they’re great…pull apart cinnamon pieces. In High School they it was called Monkey bread…..VERY YUMMY!

On the recipe you put 2 SMALL cans of biscuits but I counted the biscuits and there are 20 in the pan. I think the small cans have about 5 or 6 biscuits each. ???
Reply
Kristie Sawicki says
These are not the Grands brand, but ordinary Pillsbury biscuits that have 10 ct each.
Reply
Sheila says
But you did say small cans, and there are/were small cans sold of the “ordinary Pillsbury biscuits” that only have/had 5 or 6 biscuits in them. That’s what I believe she was asking about. I remember them from my childhood, but I don’t buy can biscuits very often so I’m not sure if they’re still sold or not.

Did the yummy flavors get into the places where the biscuits were over lapped? I would be afraid they would stay plain…
Reply
Beverly says
I was wondering that too. I think I’ll put cinnamon and sugar in a plate and coat each biscuit before layering them and use less on the top and bottom. Sounds good and would smell wonderful baking!
Reply
Kristie Sawicki says
That’s a great idea, I’d love to hear how that goes for you!
Reply
Linda says
That sounds better. I will probably about triple the amount of cinnamon too. One-half teaspoon is just not enough to even taste!

Kimberly says
I was thinking the exact same thing, to coat each biscuit and use more cinnamon. We did something similiar to this with the children in the preschool where I work. We had them roll the biscuits into balls and then roll them through the butter mix and then the sugar mix. They stuck them together in the bundt pan to make a monkey bread. They loved both making it and eating it.Reply
Lititia Yanez says
I just made this. Some of the biscuits didn’t get the coating on the inside, but there was AMPLE coating to spread over after you serve them. I really want to add a picture. I inverted mine onto a plate and I am now calling them Monkey Bread Biscuits LOL. They are to DIE for, really!!
