Ingredients

Scale

Monkey Bread Base

  • 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

  • Reserved icing from cinnamon rolls

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Spray a 12-cup bundt pan thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the monkey bread won’t stick during baking.
  2. Cut Cinnamon Rolls: Open each can of cinnamon rolls and reserve the icing packets for later. Cut each cinnamon roll into 4 pieces; note that the dough pieces may fall apart slightly, which is expected.
  3. Coat Dough Pieces: In a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, combine granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Add the cinnamon roll pieces to the bag, seal it, and shake vigorously until all pieces are evenly coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  4. Make Butter Mixture: In a bowl, stir together the brown sugar and melted unsalted butter until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Assemble Monkey Bread: Place the coated cinnamon roll pieces evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Drizzle the brown sugar and butter mixture evenly over the top to ensure maximum gooeyness.
  6. Bake: Place the bundt pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is a dark golden brown and the rolls are cooked through.
  7. Cool and Invert: Allow the monkey bread to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate to release the bread. Be cautious, as the pan will still be hot.
  8. Prepare and Drizzle Icing: Stir the remaining ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice into the reserved icing packet to infuse more spice flavor. Drizzle the spiced icing evenly over the warm monkey bread before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra pumpkin touch, you can add 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree to the butter and brown sugar mixture before drizzling.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the brown sugar to ⅓ cup.
  • Ensure the bundt pan is well-greased to make releasing the bread easier.
  • Serve warm for the best gooey texture and flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days; reheat gently before serving.
