Ingredients

3 ripe bananas, sliced
2 cans (16.3 oz each) Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers refrigerated Original biscuits
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with cooking spray. Arrange 1 1/2 bananas, sliced, in bottom of pan.
2

Separate 2 cans (16.3 oz each) Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers refrigerated biscuits into 16 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters.
3

In large bowl or on platter, stir together 1 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Roll biscuit pieces in sugar mixture; arrange evenly over bananas in pan. Top with remaining 1 1/2 bananas, sliced.
4

In medium microwavable bowl or dish, microwave 1 cup butter on high until melted. Add 1/2 cup of the leftover sugar/cinnamon mixture and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar; beat with whisk until combined. Pour mixture evenly over biscuit pieces.
5

Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Let stand at least 5 minutes. Place large platter or plate upside down over pan; turn platter and pan over. Remove pan.

Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips when you layer the biscuits in the pan for a chocolate-banana bread monkey bread!
Make sure to coat the pan well with cooking spray so the bread can be easily removed.
