What is monkey bread? And can you really make it without a bundt pan? Answers to all of your questions, with a special pumpkin twist.
Ingredients
- 3 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 tbsp. pure pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp. + 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice, divided
- 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp. white sugar, divided
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp. melted butter
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 (12.4 oz.) cans refrigerated fluffy biscuit dough
Instructions
- To prepare the filling, beat together cream cheese, pumpkin puree, 2 tbsp. sugar, and 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice until combined. Set aside.
- Generously grease the inside of a slow cooker with baking spray.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cinnamon and 1 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice. In another small bowl, combine 1/2 cup melted butter and brown sugar and stir to combine. Set aside.

this looks and sounds so good we have always been fans of monkey bread but never had with pumpkin. Also we have never though about using a slow cooker to make it.
You have me wondering with ” lay 2 paper towels over the slow cooker before placing the lid on.” and then the light bulb turned on water on the lid…………. we will be making this
