Are you part of the pumpkin spice craze? I know I am. We love it when they start selling everything pumpkin spice. We buy pumpkin spice cereal, pumpkin spice cream cheese, etc., etc. You get the idea. We love it and don’t get sick of it.
Well, actually that’s not entirely true. After a while of having pumpkin cream cheese for our bagels, we start wanting plain and strawberry again, like in January. LOL. The pumpkin is great, but we’re ready to revert back to normal life after Christmas some time. It’s a good thing, too, because they would be harder to find!
Regardless, look at this recipe. Doesn’t it look amazing?! Let me tell you, it IS amazing. And even though it looks like it would be hard, it’s not.
This obviously is not a slow cooker recipe, like I normally have, but it was too good to not share it. This, my friends, will be made in the oven, with a bundt pan.
It all starts with a bit of pumpkin spice rolls, made by Pillsbury Grands. (No, this is not a sponsored post, it just happens to be the ingredient needed to bake this.) . If you can find an off brand of pumpkin spice rolls, feel free to use those! .
Then, some cinnamon and sugar, mix it up in the bag.
Cut your biscuits into quarters, then roll them in the sugar (or put them in the bag and shake it up).
Repeat until all biscuit pieces are coated.
Layer biscuits and walnuts in the bundt pan. Then melt butter and sugar on the stove top. Add in syrup and pour over the monkey bread.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until dough is all the way cooked through.
Let it cool for 10 minutes before inverting it on a plate or cake platter. Make the maple glaze as recipe below directs.
Once it’s cooled to room temperature, pour glaze over the top of the monkey bread and top with walnuts. Enjoy!
