Hey y'all! Mandee from The Kitchen Wife here! And I don't know what the weather is like in your neck of the woods, but around here Fall is in full bloom. The wind is blowing, the air is crisp, and the trees are stunning. With autumn among us, that can only mean one thing...Pumpkin season has arrived! Now I know you've been bombarded with coffee drinks, donuts, and muffins galore, but I promise you that my Pumpkin Monkey Bread takes the heap!
The best part is they are pretty much effortless to make! I can't wait to share this recipe with you so...
Let's get started!
*Prep Time: 10 min. *Cook Time: 30-35 min. *Difficulty: Easy *Servings: 1 Pan Full
Ingredients:
- 2 cans of Large Biscuits
- 1 tsp. Cinnamon
- 1 tsp. Ground Clove
- 1 tsp. Nutmeg
- 1 tsp. Ground Ginger
- 1 c. Sugar
- 1/4 c. Pumpkin Puree
- 1 Stick Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 c. Brown Sugar
- Pinch of Salt
To begin you will need to preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
We need to give this monkey that delicious pumpkin spice flavor we all love so a resealable bag add the sugar,
Cinnamon,
Ground ginger,
And ground clove.
Now take the biscuits and cut them into fours and roll them into small balls.
Add the dough balls to the resealable bag.
Seal the bag (And trust me when I say MAKE SURE IT IS SEALED) and shake so that all of the dough balls are covered with the spice mix.
Now it's time to make the glaze for the monkey bread.
In a microwave safe bowl add the butter and brown sugar.
Place in the microwave until the butter has melted.
Whisk until smooth.
Now add the pumpkin and...
A pinch of salt.
Whisk together until smooth.
For this next part you are going to need a bunt pan that is WELL GREASED. I'm talking every nook and cranny!
Pour a little of the puree mixture into the top of the pan then...
Now a layer of the dough balls.
Continue layering until you have run out of dough balls.
Pour any of the puree mixture that is left on top and bake for 30-35 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven.
After 30-35 minutes your monkey bread will look like this.
Now here is where this story takes a turn...DUN DUN DUN....
I would love to have a beautiful picture of this molded Pumpkin Monkey Bread, BUT after I had set everything up, I went into the kitchen to get my camera. I heard a crash and instantly knew what happened...
My cat knock the monkey bread off of the cake stand and onto the floor, where he stood over it licking away.
Instantly I panicked, but then I went to the fridge grabbed the one can of biscuits I had left and made a small batch in these personal sized baking dishes.
And there you have it! The perfect Pumpkin Monkey Bread. Whether it is beautifully molded from a bunt pan or in a baking dish these sweet, warm, spicy, delightful morsels are the perfect companion to your morning coffee, an afternoon snack, or an evening dessert.
And speaking of dessert, pardon me while I dig in!
