Why do they call it monkey bread?
What is monkey bread anyways? If you don’t already know, then you are in for a treat! Monkey Bread is a delicious pastry treat that is soft, moist, sweet, and a little bit sticky. It looks like a cake (and is usually baked in a bundt cake pan), but it’s more like a sweet bread.
It’s like balls of dough squished and baked together, then topped with a sticky sweet icing or glaze, or oftentimes just cinnamon sugar. It’s a pull-apart bread that is meant to be eaten with your hands, which is why they call it monkey bread!

All you have to do is give the biscuit dough that pumpkin spice flavor, make up the pumpkin pie mixture to slather onto the biscuits, place the biscuits in the bundt pan, make a brown sugar/butter icing to pour on top, and then bake.
