WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE THIS PUMPKIN MONKEY BREAD RECIPE:

2. Pumpkin puree
3. Light brown sugar
4. Melted butter
5. Pumpkin pie spice

You’ll also need a 12 count muffin pan.

HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN MONKEY BREAD MUFFINS:

Pre heat oven to 375 degrees then grease the muffin tin, spray with cooking spray or line with paper liners.

Remove the cinnamon roll biscuit dough from the package and cut into quarters then set the cinnamon roll pieces aside.

To a medium bowl add butter then microwave for a few seconds to melt completely.

To the melted butter, add brown sugar, pumpkin puree and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice. Stir by hand until smooth.

Add quartered cinnamon rolls to the pumpkin mixture turning gently to coat well.

Place 4 coated pieces into each of the muffin cups. Spoon any remaining pumpkin mixture in the bowl over the top of them.

Bake 10-13 minutes or until golden brown then remove from the oven.

While the muffins are baking transfer the icing from the cinnamon roll package to a small bowl. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice then stir to blend well.

When the muffins are finished baking drizzle a little bit of pumpkin icing over the top of each muffin. Transfer to a serving plate then dig in!

TIPS/ADDITIONS FOR THE BEST PUMPKIN MONKEY BREAD MUFFINS

• Use pumpkin puree (the only ingredient listed on the can will be pumpkin!) – not pumpkin pie filling.
• Add finely chopped pecans to the pumpkin mixture before adding dough quarters.
• Granulated sugar can be used instead of brown sugar.
• Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the pumpkin mixture.
• Try a light drizzle of caramel sauce over the top instead of icing.

HOW TO SAFELY STORE THESE MUFFINS:

Cool completely then store in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap at room temperature up to 3 days.

These muffins freeze well in a freezer container for up to 4 weeks.
