Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cans (16.5 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
  2. 1 cup pumpkin puree
  3. 1/2 cup brown sugar
  4. 1 tsp cinnamon
  5. 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  6. 1/4 cup melted butter
  7. 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Pumpkin Pull Apart Monkey Bread bakes evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Gather all your ingredients: 2 cans of refrigerated biscuit dough, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp of nutmeg, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Open the cans of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters. This will create small pieces that are easy to pull apart.
  5. Add the quartered biscuit pieces to the bowl with the pumpkin mixture. Toss the biscuit pieces gently until they are fully coated with the pumpkin mixture.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped pecans with the melted butter. Stir until the pecans are evenly coated with the butter.
  7. Grease a bundt pan or a similar baking dish with cooking spray or additional melted butter to prevent sticking.
  8. Layer half of the coated biscuit pieces into the bottom of the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle half of the pecan mixture over the biscuit layer.
  9. Repeat the layering process with the remaining biscuit pieces and the remaining pecan mixture, ensuring an even distribution throughout the pan.
  10. Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
  11. Once baked, remove the bundt pan from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to remove from the pan.
  12. Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate. Gently tap the pan to release the monkey bread. If necessary, use a spatula to help lift any stubborn pieces.
  13. Serve the Pumpkin Pull Apart Monkey Bread warm, allowing guests to pull apart the pieces. Enjoy this delightful treat as a breakfast item or a dessert!

Tips

  1. Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the pumpkin mixture and chop the pecans in advance. Just store them in the fridge until you're ready to assemble the monkey bread.
  2. Use Fresh Pumpkin: If you want to take this recipe to the next level, consider using fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned. Just roast and blend the pumpkin for a richer flavor.
  3. Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add other spices like ginger or cloves to the pumpkin mixture for an extra layer of warmth and depth.
  4. Don’t Skip the Cooling Time: Allowing the monkey bread to cool for about 10 minutes before inverting it helps prevent it from falling apart and ensures a beautiful presentation.
  5. Serve Warm: This bread is best enjoyed warm. If you have leftovers, reheat individual pieces in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
  6. Add a Glaze: For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk over the warm monkey bread before serving.
  7. Pair with Coffee: This Pumpkin Pull Apart Monkey Bread pairs wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or spiced chai tea, making it a perfect addition to your fall brunch spread.
