Caramel Pumpkin Monkey Bread Recipe

Most amazing caramel pumpkin monkey bread you will ever make and it is really easy too!! The best Fall breakfast or dessert I’ve ever made!

If you’ve never made monkey bread with biscuits from the refrigerated section of the store it is an easy thing to do and you can mix it up with lots of different flavors too like this one for Fall. It’s so addicting and of course easy to do.

Pumpkin monkey bread

• If you’ve never made an easy monkey bread recipe using refrigerated biscuits or cinnamon rolls it is SO easy.

Since Fall is upon us I chose to add caramel and pumpkin flavors but the choices are endless once you know the basic steps.

We have bought monkey bread before in the frozen section and it is okay. Once you realize just how easy monkey bread is to make you will taste the difference AND you can fool around with the flavors. 

Beware…it is addicting.

I chose to add caramel bits this time but you could swap out for nuts too. I’d use a bundt pan that is already non stick in order for it to slide out easily. My favorite one is listed below.

• Bundt pan
• Caramel bits
  • and/or 1/2 cup crushed nuts
• 2 cans of refrigerated cinnamon rolls
• Canned pumpkin
  • or make your own pumpkin puree

So like I said this pumpkin caramel monkey bread is easy to make because you use two cans of cinnamon rolls as the base and a few ingredients as the “sauce”.

Especially now that it is Fall I love pumpkin anything but you could omit that part during other times of the year. Caramel cinnamon monkey bread would be fab too.

How do you know if monkey bread is done?

• The easiest way is to move a few pieces around in the center and see if underneath those is still doughy.
• If so allow it to bake a bit longer. You don’t want underdone biscuit or cinnamon rolls. It should also be golden brown on the top like you see here.

Ok and if you want to take this over the top or make it “prettier” you could sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar on the very top.

Here is another twist on the traditional Pillsbury cinnamon roll monkey bread you may have tried. Fresh apples are great baked into desserts and/or pastries, and cheap too. 

With some melted frosting on top and a bit of cinnamon you can make another Fall breakfast, or serve it at a brunch get together with friends. I assure you this will also be a huge hit amongst family and friends.

• Looking for items to add to your Christmas brunch menu. Both of these will fly off the table I tell you!

Can I freeze monkey bread?

Well we’ve never had any left after the 5 of us get to it BUT if you did you could freeze it. Just wrap each piece in plastic wrap and then put those inside a freezer bag. They should stay good for up to a month.

Do NOT store monkey bread dough in the freezer, just the cooked leftovers. This is because freezing will make the yeast inactive. Nutritional information is below. Now jump to the recipe and make it y’all!!
