Description

Indulge in the warm, comforting flavors of fall with these homemade Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls. Soft, fluffy rolls filled with a sweet cinnamon swirl and topped with a creamy pumpkin spice frosting.


Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Filling:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Frosting:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 23 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: Combine warm milk and yeast in a small bowl. Let it sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, whisk sugar, melted butter, pumpkin puree, egg, and salt. Add yeast mixture and flour. Knead until soft and elastic.
  3. Rise: Let dough rise for 1 hour until doubled. Roll out, spread softened butter, sprinkle brown sugar-cinnamon mix, roll up, slice, place in baking dish, and let rise again for 30-45 minutes.
  4. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden.
  5. Make Frosting: Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Spread over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • Enhance pumpkin flavor with 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice in the dough.
  • Best served warm; reheat for next-day enjoyment.
