Please note: The full, printable recipe is at the bottom of this post.

Ingredients:

• 2 cans (16 ounces each) refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Coating: In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Seal the bag and shake it to mix the sugar and cinnamon evenly.
3. Prepare the Biscuit Pieces: Cut each biscuit into quarters. Place the biscuit pieces into the plastic bag with the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Seal the bag and shake it to coat the biscuit pieces thoroughly.
4. Assemble the Monkey Bread: Arrange the coated biscuit pieces evenly in the greased bundt pan or baking dish.
5. Make the Pumpkin Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat the mixture until it's well combined and slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Pour the Pumpkin Sauce: Pour the pumpkin sauce evenly over the biscuit pieces in the pan.
7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the pumpkin monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a serving plate. The caramelized pumpkin sauce will create a delicious, sticky glaze.
9. Serve: Serve the pumpkin monkey bread warm. Pull apart the sweet, sticky pieces and enjoy!
