Mmmmmm. That’s all I’ve got to say. I pinned several monkey bread recipes on Pinterest a while back and just recently remembered to give one a try. Upon checking out the actual recipe, I discovered it to be a bit too complicated for my taste. This is not the “tube biscuit” recipe most people will be familiar with, but a made from scratch version. Here is what I came up with, combining the made from scratch version with the traditional tube biscuit recipe. It’s super easy and super addicting!
Pumpkin Monkey Bread
Ingredients
- 2 Tubes of Crescent Roll or something similar "tube biscuits"
- 1 Cup of Pumpkin Puree canned or fresh
- 1 Tbl Cinnamon or more to taste
- 1 Tbl Nutmeg or more to taste
- 1 Stick of Butter
- 1 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Cream Cheese
- 2 Tbl Confectioners Sugar
Instructions
- Roll dough into quarter size balls.
- Mix pumpkin puree, cinnamon and nutmeg together.
- Coat dough in mixture: stirring together in a bowl or shaken in a zip lock bag.
- Place dough mixture in a greased bunt pan.
- Melt butter and mix together with brown sugar. Pour over dough.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and baked all the way through.
- Let set for 10 minutes, then turn over and remove to a plate.
- Soften cream cheese in microwave until it is thin, almost liquefied (roughly 30 seconds).
- Add confectioners sugar and stir. If mixture is still too thick to pour, add a little milk.
- Drizzle over bread and serve warm!
