This Pumpkin Monkey Bread is DELICIOUS and super easy to make!! The dough can be made ahead. Perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, or even dessert.
Wow … It’s almost Thanksgiving!! Can you believe it?
It’s also cooler. Temperatures in my area have been near 30 degrees, in the morning and night, during the day they go up a bit but you can still feel that winter is coming.
That is why, when I discovered this recipe it made a lot of sense to me.
In those cold days, I love drinking a hot cup of coffee, or tea, or chocolate, along with a delicious piece of sweet bread.
This Pumpkin Monkey Bread exceeded my expectations. It’s D.E.L.I.C.I O.U.S!!
I will not lie. At first, when I saw that I had to make the dough from scratch, I panic a little… Okay! A lot.
My previous experiences trying to make bread had not worked. Also, the original recipe used a bread making machine, which I don’t have. But let me tell you…it could not have been easier! I just put all the dough ingredients in my Mixer and it worked perfectly.
I prepare the dough the night before and refrigerate overnight. Then in the morning, I rolled it out into a thin rectangle. I’d say about 1/4 of an inch thick and formed balls, as shown in this photo.
I added chocolate and peanut butter chips but my husband said it was not necessary since the bread itself tastes so good, all the additions are unneeded.
Anyway… I love it and I planning to make it a lot during the winter.
