Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
Pumpkin cinnamon rolls with a brown butter icing 🎃🧈 fall perfection!
Pumpkin cinnamon rolls:
Ingredients:
dough:
- 3/4 cup milk of choice
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp quick rise yeast
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 egg
- 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbs pumpkin pie spice
- pinch of salt
filling:
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
-- pinch of pumpkin pie spice
-- 1/4 cup softened butter
brown butter glaze:
-- 1/4 cup browned butter
-- 1 cup powdered sugar
-- a few spoonfuls of milk to thin as needed
how-to:
1. Start with the dough -- microwave the milk for about 30-45 seconds until it is warm but not hot. Add it to a bowl with the yeast and let sit for about 5 minutes -- it should start to "bloom" and bubble up a bit.
2. Add in sugar, melted butter, pumpkin, and egg. Mix to combine.
3. Add in flour, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Knead for about 8-10 minutes using your hands or a mixer with a dough hook. It should be smooth, fully combined, and bounce back slowly when you poke it.
4. Cover in a greased bowl and let sit for 60-90 minutes until about doubled in size (in cooler weather, you can pop it in the oven on the lowest setting -- about 85˚F).
5. Roll out the dough to a rectangle, and spread it with the butter & sugar mixture. Use a pizza cutter to cut strips and roll into cinnamon rolls. Add the rolls to a greased pan.
6. Bake for 23-25 minutes at 350˚.
7. While it's baking, brown your butter and let cool. Add to the powdered sugar, and add in milk until it reaches a smooth consistency.
8. Let the cinnamon rolls cool for about 15 minutes, and then top with the glaze.
Enjoy!!

Pumpkin cinnamon rolls are a perfect seasonal delight, blending the rich flavors of pumpkin and spices with fluffy, soft dough. To make these rolls, start with high-quality pumpkin puree and ensure your yeast is fresh for better rise. Experiment with various spices such as nutmeg or ginger to elevate the flavor. Once you've made your dough, the magic happens during the filling stage. Mixing brown sugar with softened butter creates a decadent concoction that adds sweetness and richness. Don’t skip out on the brown butter glaze; the nutty flavor it brings is well worth the extra step. These rolls can be made ahead of time and baked fresh in the morning, making them ideal for holiday brunches or family gatherings. Store any leftovers in an airtight container, and pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to heat them up – they're just as tasty the next day! Explore variations by adding nuts or chocolate chips to the filling for added texture or switch to a cream cheese frosting for a different taste experience. Pumpkin cinnamon rolls are not just a treat; they're a comforting experience that brings warmth and joy during the colder months. Perfect for cozy mornings or special occasions, try this recipe to add a delightful twist to your fall baking repertoire.
