Pressure Cooker Monkey Bread

Yield:  4 servings

Approximate Total Time:  1 hour, 10 minutes 

Electric Pressure Cooker Size:  6 quarts

1/3 cup chopped pecans (optional)

1/3 cup white sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 (16 oz.) can refrigerated jumbo buttermilk biscuits

6 Tbsp. butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Spray a 6-cup bundt pan with a baking spray that contains flour like Baker's Joy.  Scatter half the chopped pecans in the bottom of the bundt pan. In a small bowl, stir together the 1/3 cup white sugar with the 1 tsp. of cinnamon.  Cut the biscuits into 6 pieces by cutting each biscuit in half and then each half into 3 wedges.  Roll each biscuit piece in the cinnamon/sugar mixture.  (Discard any remaining mixture.)  Place half of the biscuit pieces (24 pieces) into the bundt pan.  Scatter the remaining chopped pecans on the biscuit pieces.    

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon together stirring constantly.  When the mixture comes to a boil, boil for one minute and remove from heat.  Pour a little less than half the mixture over the biscuit pieces.  Place the rest of the biscuit pieces into the bundt pan, stir the remaining butter mixture well, and then pour the butter mixture evenly over the top.  Loosely cover the pan with foil.

Pour one cup of water into the pressure cooker pot.  Place trivet in pot and place covered bundt pan on top of the trivet.  Lock the pressure cooker lid in place and set steam vent to Sealing.  Select PRESSURE COOK (Manual) and cook for 25 minutes on High pressure.

When the 25-minute cook time ends, let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, and then open the steam vent to release any remaining pressure (Quick Release).  Should the float valve drop before 15 minutes is completed, leave the pot sealed for the full 15 minutes.  

Using oven mitts, remove the bundt pan from the pressure cooker pot.  Remove foil.  To unmold, place a large plate on top of the bundt pan, and invert the pan in one fluid motion, holding the plate tightly to the pan.  Break pieces off and eat like a monkey! 🐒

Note:  I highly recommend this bundt pan and this sling (trivet).
