Preparation
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a bundt pan.
2
Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and roll the pieces into balls.
3
In a bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Toss the cinnamon roll balls in the mixture until they\'re well coated.
4
Arrange these balls in the bundt pan.
5
In a small pot over medium heat, melt the butter for 20-25 seconds. Mix in the brown sugar and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
6
Pour the butter mixture over the cinnamon roll balls in the bundt pan.
7
Bake in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls have turned golden brown.
8
Allow the monkey bread to cool for about 10 minutes, then transfer onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
To lessen the sugar content, consider using a sugar substitute or reducing the quantity of the glaze. For a gluten-free version, opt for a gluten-free cinnamon roll dough. To cater to a larger crowd, simply double the ingredients and use a larger baking dish.
Avoid over-baking the monkey bread as it can cause the bread to become dry and hard. Pull it out as soon as it turns golden brown and the toothpick inserted comes out clean.
