Maple Pumpkin Monkey Bread Recipe
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans (16.3 ounces/462 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup (240 milliliters/240 grams) pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters/170 grams) maple syrup
Coating and Spices:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and thoroughly coat a bundt pan with cooking spray.
- Slice refrigerated biscuit dough into quarter-sized nuggets.
- Create a fragrant coating by whisking together brown and granulated sugars with pumpkin pie spice in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Gently brush each dough piece with smooth pumpkin puree, then tumble through the spiced sugar mixture until completely enveloped.
- Artfully arrange the sugar-crusted dough pieces in overlapping layers within the prepared bundt pan.
- Combine rich butter, luxurious maple syrup, and aromatic vanilla extract in a small saucepan; heat until butter melts completely.
- Slowly cascade the warm maple-butter mixture over the layered dough, ensuring even distribution throughout the pan.
- Slide the bundt pan into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, watching for a deep golden-brown exterior and fully cooked center.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate.
- Finish by drizzling additional maple syrup over the warm, glistening monkey bread and serve immediately for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
