Every bite of this pull apart bread is warm, gooey, and loaded with banana flavor. It comes together in about 30 minutes with store bought biscuit dough, so there is no rising or kneading required. This fun recipe is perfect for family gatherings, brunch, or any time you want something sweet and special on the table.
es! A bundt pan works great for this recipe and gives it that classic monkey bread shape. Just make sure to spray it well with nonstick spray and adjust the baking time by a few minutes if needed.
Absolutely. Sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips between the biscuit layers for a chocolate banana twist that is totally delicious.
The top of the bread should be golden brown and the biscuit pieces in the center should be cooked through. If the top is browning too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil for the last few minutes.
