Step-by-Step Guide to the Best Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread

Tools You’ll Need

• 12-cup bundt pan
• Gallon-size resealable bag
• Oven
• Mixing bowl
• Spatula
• Nonstick cooking spray

Step 1: Preparation for the Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread

• 2 cans Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls (reserve icing for later)
• ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, divided
• ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
• ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted

Step 2: Cooking the Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread

Begin by spraying a 12-cup bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Open each can of cinnamon rolls, reserving the icing, and cut each roll into four pieces. In a gallon-size resealable bag, combine the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Add the cinnamon roll pieces, seal the bag, and shake it to coat the pieces evenly.

In a separate bowl, stir together the packed brown sugar and melted butter until well combined. Next, place the coated roll pieces into the prepared bundt pan, ensuring they are distributed evenly. Drizzle the brown sugar-butter mixture over the top of the roll pieces.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is dark golden brown and the rolls are cooked through. Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes after baking.

Step 3: Assembling and Finishing

Once your Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread has cooled slightly, carefully invert it onto a serving plate. Mix the remaining ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice into the reserved icing, then drizzle it over the warm bread. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Tips for the Best Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread Every Time

• Use fresh ingredients: Ensure your spices are fresh for the best flavor impact. This also applies to any additional ingredients you may choose to add.
• Don’t skip the cooling: Allowing the bread to cool briefly in the pan helps to keep its shape and makes it easier to handle when turning it out onto the serving plate.
• Customize with ease: Feel free to add chopped nuts, raisins, or a cream cheese filling for added depth and texture. Each variation can add a new twist to your Pumpkin Monkey Bread.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overbaking: Keep a close eye on your monkey bread as it approaches the end of its baking time. Overbaking can lead to a dry result, while you want it to remain gooey and soft.
• Not greasing the pan properly: Use plenty of nonstick cooking spray to ensure the bread releases easily from the bundt pan, avoiding any sticky mishaps.
• Skipping ingredient mixing: Thoroughly mix your brown sugar and butter to avoid uneven caramelization and ensure a consistent flavor throughout.
