- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- 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.
- 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.
