Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits and Coating
- 3 (16.3-oz.) cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
Sauce
- 1 stick (8 Tbsp) salted butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare biscuits: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Cut each refrigerated buttermilk biscuit into quarters for bite-sized pieces.
- Coat biscuit pieces: Place the biscuit pieces into a large zip-top bag along with the granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Shake well to evenly coat all biscuit pieces with the spiced sugar.
- Arrange in Bundt pan: Transfer the coated biscuit pieces into a Bundt pan, spreading them out evenly to prepare for the sauce.
- Make the pumpkin sauce: In a saucepan, melt the salted butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and whisk until combined. Add the heavy cream and pumpkin puree, then simmer the mixture for 3 to 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove the pan from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour sauce over biscuits: Evenly pour the warm pumpkin sauce over the biscuit pieces in the Bundt pan, making sure all pieces are coated with the glaze.
- Bake the monkey bread: Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the bread is deep golden brown and puffed up.
- Cool and serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes after baking. Then carefully invert the Bundt pan onto a serving platter to release the monkey bread. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use refrigerated buttermilk biscuits for an easy shortcut—homemade dough can also be used.
- Make sure to coat biscuit pieces evenly with the spiced sugar for balanced flavor.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the brown sugar by 1/4 cup.
- Serve warm to enjoy the gooey, soft texture; leftovers can be reheated gently in the microwave.
- This recipe can be doubled using two Bundt pans for larger gatherings.
