GW2: Loaf of Walnut Sticky Bread

Also known as monkey bread, this recipe is so easy, you could do it still half asleep. Which is good, considering this is most certainly a breakfast food. All you need is a bundt pan (I’m sure you have one shoved into a dark corner somewhere.)

Normally, you can make your own biscuits for sticky bread, but since I’m doing this half asleep, I’m going to use some pre-made dough. Ok? Ok.

NOTE: The topping also contains the basic recipe for caramel. If you let the mixture come to a boil, the texture will become more like caramel, which is fine, but does tend to dry harder than it would normally.

~Ingredients~

Biscuits

2 can non-flaky Grands Biscuits (Pillsbury brand or other)



½ stick butter



1 cup Brown Sugar



½ tsp. Cinnamon



½ cup Walnuts, chopped

Topping

1 stick Butter



1 cup Brown Sugar

½ tsp. Vanilla Extract

½ tsp. Cinnamon



½ cup Walnuts, chopped

Total Time: 30-40 min. | Cook Time: 20-25 min.

~Instructions~



Step 1.) Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Place ½ stick of butter into the bundt pan and place it in the oven to melt the butter.

Step 2.) Toss the biscuit quarters in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts, and transfer them to the bundt pan once the butter is melted. Bake for 20-25 min. or until browned. Add any extra brown sugar to the mixture for the topping.

Step 3.) In a saucepan, melt the other stick of butter. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon, until the result is a thick, frosting-like consistency. Keep warm or on low heat until the Biscuits are done.

NOTE: This makes a lot of topping! If you feel you don’t want that much, just half the recipe.

Step 4.) Once the sticky bread is taken out of the oven, turn it out onto a platter. Pour the frosting over the biscuits and sprinkle the other ½ cup of walnuts on top. Serve hot!

Step 5.) Cry because you just realized you still haven’t started the coffee maker yet.

~Results~

Not bad for pre-coffee semi-functionality.
