Maple Monkey Bread



Hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas!  My friend, Carrie, recently introduced me to Pinterest.  It is an awesome website with a lot of recipes.  I have tried a couple from there and made this one this morning for breakfast.  It was really good and super easy!

1 tube Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits
3 Tbsp.. butter or margarine, melted
1/2 c. pancake syrup
1/3 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. chopped pecans, optional

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a fluted pan with non-stick spray. Combine the melted butter and syrup in a small bowl and set aside.  In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts (if desired).  Place about half of the syrup mixture in the bottom of the pan. Then sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on top.  Lay the biscuits on the bottom of the pan, overlapping edges to form a ring.  Top with remaining syrup and sugar mixtures.  Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool for one minute in the pan, then carefully invert onto a serving platter and enjoy.
