- Cinnamon rolls
- Pumpkin puree
- Brown Sugar
- Butter
- Pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters. This is easiest to do with scissors but can also be done with a knife.
In a large bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin, brown sugar, melted butter, and pumpkin pie spice until it is well combined and no lumps of brown sugar remain.
Add the cinnamon roll quarters to the bowl and fold them in gently until the pumpkin mixture evenly coats each piece of cinnamon roll.
Add 4 pieces of cinnamon roll to each muffin cup— just place them in the muffin tin. No need to press them together.
Bake the monkey bread in a preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the muffins are set and no longer wet on top.
Top with the icing from the cinnamon rolls, if desired.
Tips
You can use any flavor of cinnamon rolls— the pumpkin or Cinnabon flavors would be delicious.
Make sure you are using pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix.
Light or dark brown sugar will work in this recipe.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a few days, as long as they are covered tightly. Baked monkey bread can be frozen for up to 3 months.
