Maple Bacon Monkey Bread Recipe: Sweet & Savory Delight

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 (12 ounce) package bacon
• 0.5 cup margarine
• 0.75 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 (16.3 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, separated and cut into quarters

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch fluted tube pan (like a Bundt pan) thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, flipping occasionally, until crispy and evenly browned, approximately 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cool enough to handle, crumble the bacon, discarding any pieces that are mostly fat.
3. In a small saucepan, melt margarine over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and maple syrup; bring the mixture to a boil. Continue to cook and stir until it begins to foam, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Combine white sugar and cinnamon in a resealable plastic bag. Add 6-8 biscuit pieces to the bag at a time; shake well until each piece is thoroughly coated. Transfer the sugared biscuits to a plate and repeat with the remaining biscuit pieces.
5. Pour any leftover sugar mixture from the resealable bag into the saucepan with the maple syrup mixture. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Create four layers in the prepared pan in this order: crumbled bacon, maple syrup mixture, and sugared biscuits. Repeat these layers, finishing with a final drizzle of the remaining maple syrup mixture over the top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuits are fully cooked through, approximately 35 minutes. Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10-20 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
