Ingredients
Monkey Bread Dough
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)
Pumpkin Spice Mixture
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or mixed warm spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Prepare dough pieces: Open the biscuit dough and separate into individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters or bite-sized pieces.
- Coat dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice until it forms a smooth coating mixture. Toss the biscuit pieces in this mixture until each piece is evenly coated.
- Layer dough in pan: Place the coated dough pieces evenly into the greased bundt pan, layering to fill the pan without packing too tightly to allow even baking.
- Bake: Bake the monkey bread in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown, cooked through, and sticky.
- Cool and serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Pull apart the bread to serve warm and enjoy the sticky, spiced goodness.
Notes
- Using refrigerated biscuit dough makes this recipe quick and easy, but you can substitute with homemade biscuit dough if preferred.
- For extra sweetness and stickiness, consider drizzling a cinnamon glaze or drizzle of caramel sauce over the bread before serving.
- You can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts between layers for added texture and flavor.
- Ensure your bundt pan is well greased to avoid any sticking issues when removing the bread.
