Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cans 16.3 oz refrigerated biscuits (8 Count)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans optional
  • 3/4 cup salted butter or margarine cut into pieces
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and generously grease a bundt pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large gallon-sized food storage bag, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon.
  • Separate the biscuits, then cut each into six pieces. Toss 8–10 pieces at a time in the sugar mixture until coated.
  • Layer the coated dough balls into the pan. Sprinkle pecans in between layers if using. Any leftover cinnamon sugar? Sprinkle it over the top like confetti.
  • In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat, whisk in the brown sugar, and pour evenly over the dough in the pan.
  • Bake for 30–40 minutes until golden and no longer doughy in the center. (Pro tip: pull one piece apart near the middle to check.)
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. If it sticks, give the pan a little tap. Serve warm and watch it disappear.

Notes

Pro Tips
  • Add-ins welcome: Pecans are classic, but walnuts, raisins, or even mini chocolate chips are fair game.
  • No bundt pan? No problem. A 9x13 dish works too—just keep an eye on the bake time.
 
Pairing Suggestions
  • Coffee or hot cocoa: You’ll need something warm to wash down all that cinnamon sugar goodness.
  • Fresh fruit: Because balance, right?
  • Crispy bacon or sausage links – sweet + salty is the breakfast dream team.
  • Scrambled eggs – a savory protein side to keep the sugar rush from hitting too hard, too fast.
