Create the perfect Fall breakfast with Easy Pumpkin Monkey Bread. This pull-apart pumpkin treat is sure to please the whole family.
Buttery biscuits, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice combine for a treat the whole family will love. Add a powdered sugar glaze for beautiful presentation too.
Pumpkin Spice Biscuits:
I love homemade biscuits, but for an easy morning breakfast, canned biscuits are the base in my Easy Pumpkin Monkey Bread. The biscuits are tossed in a mixture of sugar, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice, then layered with the pumpkin sauce. I also opted to top my biscuits with a quick powdered sugar glaze.
We usually enjoy monkey bread for breakfast, and it would make a great option for brunch along with my Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Roll Cake. Add a delicious cocktail to your pumpkin-inspired brunch menu, like Pumpkin Red Sangria or Pumpkin Pie Bourbon Cocktail.
Pumpkin Sauce:
The pumpkin sauce not only has brown sugar, butter and cinnamon, but also pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Some people pour the sauce over the entire pan after the biscuits are in it. For this monkey bread, I divided it into 3, and layered it in between the biscuits. Either way works, whichever you choose.
TOOLS, TIPS & TRICKS:
-
- Make sure your bundt pan is well greased.
- If you let the monkey bread cool too long, it will stick to the pan when trying to release it.
- Here is one of my favorite bundt pans for monkey bread.
- You can use either light brown sugar or dark brown sugar however, dark brown sugar will have more of a rich molasses flavor.

I have to make this fir my family for one of our breakfasts on our upcoming road trip. They will go nuts over it.
It is so delicious! I hope you and your family enjoy it!
First of all, that photo makes me want to face-plant right in it! Second of all, get me a straw for the sauce, and when I’m done with that, I’ll use the straw for the glaze. I dunno….this might get made tomorrow!
