Maple Bacon Monkey Bread

Ingredients

¾ cup white sugar

2 tablespoons caramel instant pudding, uncooked

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 (16.3 oz) tubes refrigerated biscuit dough, separated and each biscuit cut into quarters

12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

½ cup butter

¾ cup packed dark brown sugar

½ cup maple syrup

tiny pinch of salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat the inside of a 9-inch fluted tube pan or Bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large gallon size Ziploc bag, mix together the white sugar, caramel instant pudding mix and cinnamon. Add the quartered biscuit pieces and shake until well coated. Toss in the bacon pieces and shake well to distribute. Place the pieces in the Bundt pan. Save any leftover sugar in the bottom of the bag and set aside.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, maple syrup and tiny pinch of salt. Bring mixture to a boil and carefully stir until mixture begins to foam, about 1 minute.

Pour the remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture into the brown sugar mixture and stir until sugar dissolves, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the top of the biscuits.

Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuits are cooked through, about 50-55 minutes. Cool in pan for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
