This Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread is a deliciously gooey and fragrant treat that combines soft cinnamon roll pieces coated in a spiced sugar blend, baked to golden perfection, and drizzled with pumpkin-spiced icing. Perfect for fall gatherings or a cozy breakfast indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Monkey Bread

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

Icing

  • Icing included with cinnamon rolls
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Spray a 12-cup bundt pan thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the monkey bread will release easily after baking.
  2. Cut the cinnamon rolls: Open each can of cinnamon rolls and reserve the icing for later. Cut each roll into 4 pieces; the pieces may fall apart slightly, which is perfect for coating.
  3. Coat the dough pieces: In a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, combine the granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Add the cinnamon roll pieces to the bag, seal it tightly, and shake well until all pieces are evenly coated with the spiced sugar mixture.
  4. Mix the butter and brown sugar: In a separate bowl, stir together the packed brown sugar and melted butter until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Assemble the monkey bread: Place all the coated cinnamon roll pieces in the prepared bundt pan evenly. Drizzle the brown sugar and melted butter mixture evenly over the pieces to ensure they soak up the sweetness.
  6. Bake: Bake the monkey bread at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes or until the top is a rich dark golden brown and the bread is fully cooked through.
  7. Cool and invert: Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate—be cautious as the pan will still be hot.
  8. Prepare the icing and serve: Stir the remaining ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice into the reserved icing packet. Drizzle this pumpkin-spiced icing generously over the warm monkey bread and serve immediately for the best gooey, spiced flavor experience.

Notes

  • For extra crunch and flavor, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts between layers before baking.
  • This monkey bread is best served warm on the day it is baked but can be reheated gently in the microwave.
  • Adjust the pumpkin pie spice amount to taste if you prefer more or less warmth in the flavor.
  • If you cannot find Pillsbury Grands! cinnamon rolls, another large cinnamon roll dough can be substituted.
  • Use a light butter spray on the bundt pan for extra nonstick assurance.
