Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the oven is at the right temperature when you are ready to bake the monkey bread.
- Gather all your ingredients: 2 cans of refrigerated biscuit dough, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 cup of melted butter, and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Open the cans of refrigerated biscuit dough. Cut each biscuit into quarters using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife. This will help the dough pieces to absorb the pumpkin mixture better.
- Add the quartered biscuit pieces to the pumpkin mixture in the bowl. Gently fold the dough pieces into the mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans into the bowl and fold them in as well, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough mixture.
- Grease a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter to prevent the monkey bread from sticking.
- Pour the coated biscuit pieces into the greased bundt pan. Make sure to spread them out evenly to ensure even baking.
- Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the monkey bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- After cooling, carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate to release the monkey bread. Gently tap the pan if needed to help it come out.
- Allow the monkey bread to cool slightly before serving. You can serve it warm, drizzled with additional melted butter or a glaze if desired.
- Enjoy your Pinterest Project Pumpkin Monkey Bread with family and friends!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and better texture.
- Don't overmix the biscuit dough when coating—gentle folding prevents tough bread.
- For extra indulgence, consider adding a cream cheese glaze after baking.
- Make sure to grease the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Let the monkey bread cool for 10 minutes before inverting to help it hold its shape.
- For a more intense pumpkin flavor, you can add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to maintain texture.
- This recipe is perfect for meal prep—it can be assembled the night before and baked in the morning.
