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

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.

November 22, 2018 at 11:39 AMthis 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
