Good Monday morning to you! I hope you had a great weekend. I don’t know about you, but I am sooooo excited for fall! I realize that I will probably be eating these words come January, but I am ready for some relief from the extreme heat. There are many other reasons that I eagerly anticipate fall every year… the changing leaves, fall home decor, Buckeye football and of course Pumpkin Season! (That’s a thing, right?)
The flavors of fall are just as warm and comforting as the color palette of the changing leaves. As I write this in 90º weather (I’ve always been a fan of irony), I can tell you that I can hardly wait to cozy up in the fall with a chunky sweater, a good book, a Chocolate Hazelnut coffee (out of my favorite owl mug, of course) and a nibble of this Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread with Cream Cheese Glaze.
My Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread shares some of the characteristics of its traditional monkey bread cousin, but is infused with layers of pumpkin-y pumpkin-ness (I know that isn’t a thing, but I think it should be). The pumpkin-y pumpkin-ness (I’m going with it) starts with using International Delight® Pumpkin Pie Spice Coffee Creamer in the monkey bread dough instead of milk…
It continues with Pumpkin Pie Spice in the dough coating…
And back to the Pumpkin Pie Spice creamer mixed into the cream cheese glaze.
Ok, let’s do this!
- 3 cups Jiffy mix
- 1 cup International Delight® Pumpkin Pie Spice Coffee Creamer
- ¾ cup cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ cup butter, melted
- 1 16 oz. container cream cheese frosting
- ¼ cup International Delight® Pumpkin Pie Spice Coffee Creamer
- Preheat oven to 350º.
- Spray bundt pan with non stick spray or lightly grease.
- In large bowl, combine baking mix and Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer; set aside.
- In medium bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon; set aside.
- In small bowl, combine cream cheese frosting and ¼ cup Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer until blended; set aside.
- Roll dough into 1" balls and toss in melted butter, followed by coating dough in sugar mixture.
- Stack dough balls in prepared pan, drizzling with cream cheese glaze at halfway point.
- Bake 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy.
- Allow to cool in pan for 15 minutes.
- Invert pan onto serving plate and tap the top to release.
- Drizzle with remaining Pumpkin Pie Spice Cream Cheese Glaze.
No chunky sweater yet, but I’ll just be over here enjoying my Chocolate Hazelnut coffee in my owl mug reading my book and/or watching football!
If you’re ready for fall flavors but not ready to say goodbye to your iced coffee yet, this recipe is for you! ↓
If you’re excited for fall like me, what is your favorite thing about the season? What is your favorite fall flavor? I’d love to hear in the comments below.
Is it too soon to say Happy Almost Fall to you? 😉
I would recommend NOT using Jiffy mix, it comes out like one big crumbly biscuit, not a pull apart bread. You would need to use more of a dough like grands or something like that.
Thanks for the suggestion Melissa!
Hello! Does this usually bake evenly? I am planning to bring it to a potluck at work tomorrow and I don’t want the dough to be undercooked in the middle. Thank you!
Hi Becky! Yes, it has for me every time I’ve made it. I hope you and your co-workers enjoy it! 🙂
Unfortunately this was way too sweet for my family. The dough was also so sticky I had to add extra bisquick to the mix. And the recipe made too much glaze for us. I would suggest you tweak the directions to say the creamer is divided into 1 cup and 1/4 cups so that folks don’t add all of into the baking mix accidentally.
Hi Connie, I’m so sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy it. I appreciate the feedback and agree with your suggestion on the creamer, I will adjust that now. Thank you, Lydi
I agree. It’s not worth the time and effort to make. Maybe you can turn it into a coffee cake using the pumpkin spice creamer and less glaze.
How much of the glaze do you put in before you bake it? Do you layer it with the dough? And how much do you drizzle at the end?
Hi Linda! I drizzle half of the cream cheese glaze over the dough at about the half way point in stacking (once you have stacked about half of the dough in the pan). The remaining glaze I hold onto until the baking is done and drizzle the rest of it on top. I hope you enjoy. Have a great weekend!
What is baking mix?
Hi Helen! Baking mix is a base for muffins, biscuits, pancakes etc. There are recipes for homemade on Pinterest or Jiffy works great! 😉
Thank you to Helen for asking the same question I was going to ask. Any chance to clear that up in future recipes? I was about decided to skip trying this recipe (and more from your site) because of the confusion.
Hi P R, thank you for that feedback. I will certainly apply it to future recipes and am grateful that you let me know so that I can adjust the recipe.
This looks absolutely fabulous! I will definitely be adding this one to my fall “must make” recipes list!!
That’s awesome Melissa! I hope you love it! Thanks! xo
Oh my gosh I have to try this pumpkin-y recipe Lydia! I wish this could magically appear for breakfast this morning! If have it with a cup of Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice Tea, my other fall favorite!
That sounds soooo good Karin! I wish I could make it RE-appear! 😉
Oh yes, bring on the college football! Aside from football, I think the cooler temperatures are my favorite thing about Fall. And I’m thinking this pumpkin spice monkey bread might just need to make an appearance in my kitchen for the upcoming long weekend….it sounds incredible! Perfect for Fall! #client
