EASY MONKEY BREAD (MICROWAVE MONKEY BREAD RECIPE)

Steps:

• Lightly butter a microwave-safe pie pan with a ramekin in the center or spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the brown sugar and the butter. Melt them in the microwave for about 45-60 seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir together. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon. Roll each piece of the biscuit in the sugar mixture, making sure it is completely covered. You may coat 2 or 3 pieces at a time.
• Place each dipped piece into the prepared pie pan. Surround the ramekin with the coated biscuits. Continue coating pieces until all of them are covered.
• Drizzle the melted butter mixture over the pieces of dough, trying to cover as much of the bread as possible. Sprinkle with chopped pecans, reserving 1 tablespoon of the pecans to top the bread before pulling them apart.
• Place the pie pan in the microwave and cook on high for 5-6 minutes. The bread will rise just a little bit while cooking. Remove from the microwave oven and allow the bread to cool for about two minutes.
• Before serving, place a plate over the pie pan and then flip it over onto the plate. Sprinkle the reserved pecans over the top of the bread and then use a large fork to spread the bites around the plate for easier serving.
