This is by far the most requested breakfast recipe from my children! They LOVE it. We save it for special occasions — birthdays, Christmas, and other holidays — since it isn’t the most healthy recipe that ever existed, haha. But it’s so yummy and it’s easier than traditional monkey bread or from-scratch cinnamon rolls (and, considering I always make this recipe on already-busy days, that’s a huge plus!).

Ingredients  

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 large cans biscuits
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large sauce pan, heat and stir the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup until the mixture comes to a boil.
  • Pour into a 9×13 pan and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  • In a bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
  • Cut each biscuit in half. Dip each half into the cinnamon-sugar mixture (making sure that each side is coated) and place each biscuit cut-side down into the pan.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Invert onto a cookie sheet or rectangular serving platter as soon as you take it out of the oven.

Notes

You could absolutely make your own biscuit dough if you have extra time, but the canned biscuits make it so quick to throw together.
