  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 16 minute

Ingredients

– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup pumpkin puree
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup brown sugar, packed
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup whole milk, warmed
– 2 large eggs
– 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
– ½ teaspoon ground ginger
– ¼ teaspoon ground cloves


Instructions

Creating your perfect Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls is a delightful journey. Follow these simple steps:

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Incorporate the activated yeast mixture.

3. Combine Flour and Spices: Gradually add flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves to the wet ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

4. Knead the Dough: Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Form it into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for about one hour.

5. Prepare Filling: In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 16×12 inches) on a floured surface, spreading softened butter over it. Sprinkle sugar mixture across the dough.

6. Roll and Cut: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces and place these in a greased baking dish. Allow the rolls to rise for an additional 30 minutes.

7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

8. Make Frosting: While the rolls are baking, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla. If desired, adjust consistency with milk.

9. Cool and Frost: Once the cookies are out of the oven, let them cool for about 15 minutes before drizzling cream cheese frosting on top.

These steps ensure you create fluffy, flavorful pumpkin cinnamon rolls that will warm any heart!
