For an extra touch, drizzle a simple powdered sugar glaze over the warm monkey bread after inverting. Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk or cream until smooth.
Feel free to add chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts work great!) to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for added texture and flavor.
To prevent the biscuits from sticking to the shears, dip them in water or spray with cooking spray before each cut.
Store leftover monkey bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.

    My monkey bread turned out a little soggy in the middle. Next time, I'll try baking it for a few extra minutes.
