Ingredients
To make monkey bread with canned cinnamon rolls, you will need the following ingredients:
– 1 can (8-12 count) of cinnamon rolls
– 1 cup of brown sugar
– 1/2 cup of butter, melted
– 1/2 cup of sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
3. Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll into individual pieces. Add the cinnamon roll pieces to the butter mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
4. If you prefer, add the chopped nuts to the mixture, stirring to distribute them evenly.
5. Transfer the coated cinnamon roll pieces into the greased baking dish, arranging them in a circular pattern.
6. Bake the monkey bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cinnamon rolls are puffed and cooked through.

8. Drizzle the glaze over the monkey bread, allowing it to sink into the gaps between the rolls.
9. Let the monkey bread cool completely before serving. You can enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
