This dish is a definate crowd-pleaser as "Rookie in Roseville" said before me. I agree with her write up and really appreciate her telling us some of the tweaks she made. For instance, Paula's recipe says to bake it for 30 minutes but I followed Rookie's advice and baked it for 40 minutes and it was perfectly done. I DID let it sit for 5 minutes before inverting it but that was too long because all the gooey sugar, butter and nutty goodness stuck to the pan. Despite that, it was still de-lish! It's definately easier to prep everything beforehand then do each step in full at the same time like a production line. I prepped everything the night before then simply assembled it the next morning and popped it in the oven before going to work. We had a breakfast party and the gorilla bread was the first empty plate! It's also a very economical dish to make. You must make this today!

I've made this a zillion times in the past 2 years. It's perfect every time and a real crowd-pleaser. Her video says to bake it for 50-60 minutes while the recipe says 30. I've always done it for 40 minutes and it's perfectly done. Don't let it sit longer than 5 minutes before you invert it; the biscuits and sweet goodness really stick to the pan and it messes up the presentation. I invert it and let it sit for a few minutes to give gravity a chance to work. I'm not shy about sprinkling the cinnamon sugar onto the biscuits before I put the cheese on the biscuit. Also, I like to roll the prepared biscuit balls in the cinnamon sugar before I put them in the pan like she shows in the video. It preps faster if you do each step in full at once: separate all the biscuits, sprinkle all of them with the sugar at one time, roll the cheese in them and pinch them closed at one time, roll all of them in the sugar at one time, then it's just assembling.

I cooked this for the 30 minutes and it was still raw in the middle. Had to add another 10 minutes. Next time I will cut the biscuits smaller and leave out the cream cheese.

I have made this many times with several different variations. If it doesn't cook in the 30 minutes you may be using the wrong kind of biscuits or you oven temperature is off. I also cut the brown sugar butter down to about half bc the full recipe is too much too rich for us. If you use a flaky biscuit or one that has butter added to it you don't get as good of results. I have also made this with a caramel drizzle and filled each biscuit with a banana mixture. I have made it into an apple streusel bread. I even have used cheese and peporoni and lightly drizzle with butter and garlic salt serve with pizza sauce for a savory version. There are endless possibilities

Made this twice! First time around, it was a hit, but I didn't care for the cream cheese filling. Second time around, I whipped in about a cup and a half to two cups of confectioner's sugar to the cream cheese then folded in some chocolate chips, BAZING!!! There it is, the flavor I was looking for. To me, this is classified as one of Paula's once in a lifetime recipes, so enjoy it slowly because I wouldn't recommended having too much if you want to keep your health!!

Not as good as original banana bread, cuts down a lot of the sweetness of the original because of how "sour" the cream cheese is.
