What I really love about this pumpkin spice monkey bread is that it makes me geared up and ready for fall. It’s one of the best, and tastiest, times of the year!

this pull-apart monkey bread is full of the wonderful autumn flavor of pumpkin spice

This is one of those breakfast recipes that will have everyone slowing down and pulling up a chair to join in.

Using a bundt pan is what gives this monkey bread that beautiful appearance and keeps it together easily so that it sticks and allows you to pull apart that first bite. (and all the consecutive bites that are certain to follow!)

Combining the melted butter and brown sugar is what gives this tasty lumpy pumpkin bread it’s sweetness and that beloved stickiness as well. Mix in some of the pumpkin puree and a dash of the pumpkin pie spice and you’re literally almost done with the entire recipe! That last part of the puzzle is to add in the bread/biscuit pieces, but that’s the easy part of the job!

Since we’re big fans of food in our house, my boys love this one a lot. And honestly, what’s not to love? Pair this up with a glass of cold milk and you might just be taking a nap afterward on the couch.

I am such a fan of anything pumpkin. I am pinning this so I remember to try it. So which monkey bread wasn't a hit. I am curious. I am a new FB fan visiting from Hope Studios. Vicky from Mess For Less

A chocolately, peanut buttery one - I finally got some more groceries, so I am planning to tackle it again this weekend. It was actually a hit, but it was way too sweet to me. I couldn't even really taste the peanut butter. So, trying again this weekend and hoping to get it live soon. :-)
