✨ 🎃 Would you give them a try?! 🎃✨
Ingredients:
(Dough)
• 3 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour
• 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 3/4 cup Whole Milk, warmed to about 110°F
• 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
• 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree
• 1 large Egg, at room temperature
(Filling)
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
(Coffee Maple Glaze)
• 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
• 11/2 cups (180g) Powdered Sugar, sifted
• 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
• 1 tsp Instant Coffee Granules, dissolved in 1 tsp hot water for that subtle kick (totally overlooked this step myself oops 😆)
Instructions:
1. Start by warming your milk to about 110°F (it should feel like a warm bath, not scalding). Stir in the yeast and a pinch of sugar, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it's frothy.
2. In a big bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, pumpkin puree, and egg, then mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until it's smooth and springy. Pop it into a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour.
4. Once doubled in size, punch down the dough and roll it into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter over it, sprinkle on the brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice, then roll it up tightly from the long side. Slice into 12 even rolls (Use a bread knife!!).
5. Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch pan, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F, then bake for 22-25 minutes until golden.
6. While they cool slightly, whip up the frosting by beating cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, maple syrup, and dissolved coffee until smooth.
Slather it generously over the warm Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls and enjoy!

Pumpkin cinnamon rolls are a delicious twist on the classic cinnamon roll, perfect for the cozy fall season. Incorporating pumpkin puree into the dough not only adds moisture but also gives a subtle autumnal flavor that pairs beautifully with warm spices like cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. The use of all-purpose flour and active dry yeast ensures a soft and fluffy texture after proper kneading and proofing. Adding warm milk activates the yeast for a good rise, which is essential for light rolls. A standout feature of this recipe is the coffee maple glaze, combining cream cheese, maple syrup, and instant coffee granules dissolved in hot water. This glaze delivers a creamy sweetness with a hint of coffee’s rich depth, enhancing the overall flavor profile without overpowering the pumpkin and spice notes. The glaze should be spread generously over the slightly cooled rolls, allowing it to melt into every swirl. For best results, monitoring dough temperature and rise times helps achieve a perfect texture. Kneading the dough for about eight minutes ensures gluten development, giving the rolls their signature springiness. After shaping and filling with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice, slicing with a serrated bread knife helps maintain neat rolls. Letting the rolls rise again for 30 minutes before baking guarantees an airy finish. Baking at 350°F for 22-25 minutes yields golden brown rolls with a tender crumb. These pumpkin cinnamon rolls not only infuse your kitchen with delightful aromas during baking but also make an excellent treat for breakfast, brunch, or an indulgent snack during the fall season. Whether sharing with family or enjoying solo, this recipe brings seasonal joy with every bite.
Looks amazing.
