Fall is here and we are eating all things pumpkin!

From pumpkin chocolate chip bread, pumpkin dip, pumpkin dump cake, copycat Starbucks pumpkin scones, pumpkin pound cake, pumpkin truffles and of course, these pumpkin monkey bread muffins. Whatever it is, if it has pumpkin or pumpkin spice, we are eating it.

These pumpkin monkey bread muffins are a delicious pumpkin-y treat for this fall. They are easy to make and taste super delicious.

We took a shortcut making these pumpkin monkey bread muffins by using store-bought refrigerated cinnamon roll dough. You can find this in the refrigerated section at your grocery store.

We love these muffins and here are just a few reasons why:

  • They're super moist and fluffy
  • Incredibly easy to make and take so little time
  • baked in a muffin tin so they're the perfect individual size
