Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can of canned biscuits
- 1 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (natural)
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, melted
Optional Ingredients for Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1–2 tablespoons grape juice
- 1 teaspoon plant-based butter, melted
Optional Additions and Variations
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup plant-based chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
- Pinch of nutmeg or cardamom (natural) for spiced variation
- 1 teaspoon vegeterian Worcestershire sauce (natural) (optional savory twist)
- 1/2 teaspoon pectin (natural gelling agent) (if thicker glaze is desired)
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuit Pieces: Open the canned biscuits and separate each biscuit into small, bite-sized pieces to allow even coating with the cinnamon sugar and butter mixture.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a shallow bowl, thoroughly combine the brown sugar (natural) and cinnamon (natural) to create the sweet and spiced coating.
- Coat Biscuit Pieces with Butter: Melt the plant-based butter and gently toss the biscuit pieces in it, ensuring every piece is well coated for maximum adhesion of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Roll Biscuit Pieces in Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately roll or sprinkle the butter-coated biscuit chunks in the cinnamon sugar mix, covering all sides generously to achieve the signature sticky sweetness.
- Layer in a Bundt or Cake Pan: Arrange the coated biscuit pieces loosely in a bundt or round cake pan, spacing them slightly to allow pieces to puff and connect while baking.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
- Prepare and Drizzle Glaze: While the bread is baking or just after removing it from the oven, prepare the glaze by mixing melted plant-based butter, powdered sugar (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and grape juice. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm bread for an added glossy and flavorful finish.
Notes
- Preheat your oven properly to ensure even cooking and perfect browning.
- Cut biscuit pieces uniformly for even baking and consistent texture.
- Use a non-stick pan or grease your bundt pan well to ease removal after baking.
- Apply the glaze while the bread is warm to let it soak in and enhance stickiness.
- Feel free to customize by adding nuts, dried fruits, or spices according to preference.
