Delicious pumpkin cinnamon rolls, a cozy treat perfect for chilly days and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a small bowl, warm your milk to about 110°F, sprinkle in the active dry yeast, and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Make dough magic: Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add in the pumpkin puree, melted butter, and egg to the dry mixture. Stir until combined.
  4. Knead it out: Flour your countertop lightly and turn out your dough. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Rising time: Place the kneaded dough in an oiled bowl and cover it. Let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  6. Make the filling: While the dough is rising, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  7. Roll it out: Once your dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 12×18 inches thick.
  8. Fill it up: Spread the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the rolled dough evenly.
  9. Roll and slice: Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 even pieces.
  10. Second rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking pan, cover, and let them rise for about 30-45 minutes.
  11. Bake time: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Once the rolls have puffed up, bake them for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Icing on the cake: While baking, whip up your icing by mixing cream cheese, maple syrup, and brewed coffee until smooth.
  13. Drizzle and savor: Remove rolls from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then drizzle icing on top.

Notes

Serve warm for maximum enjoyment. You can add nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor.
