Tips for Best Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread Results

  • Use heavy cream instead of milk for that rich, caramel like texture.
  • Don’t skip the cooling time, it helps the caramel set before flipping.
  • Drizzle frosting while warm so it melts slightly into every bite.
  • Serve with coffee, breakfast sausage, and eggs for a full meal.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. Prepare the monkey bread up to the baking step, cover, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, remove it from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 to 30 minutes before baking. This helps it bake evenly and prevents the center from being undercooked.

Can I use regular cinnamon rolls instead?

Absolutely. Just add 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice to the brown sugar mixture for similar fall flavor.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Yes. Wrap cooled monkey bread tightly in plastic wrap and freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 325°F until warm.

What type of pan works best?

A standard 10–12 cup bundt pan gives the best shape and even baking.

INGREDIENTS: 
1 tsp avocado oil

3 tsp ranch seasoning (from a ranch packet)

1 cup Colby Jack cheese (4 ounces freshly grated)
2 pie dough disks (store-bought or homemade)

Spoon the sausage and cheese mixture into the prepared pie crusts in the muffin tins, filling them to the top.

Life lately…🤍 The past couple weeks have been ful Life lately…🤍

The past couple weeks have been full in the best way. Between kids’ sports, family time, and having my Grandma here (she’s 88 and visiting from New Jersey), I just wanted to slow down and really be present for it all.

A lot of real life, a lot of good food, and a lot of moments I didn’t want to rush through.

I’ve missed being on here and sharing with you. Easing back in this week and excited to share more 🫶🏼
