  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Let’s keep things simple, shall we? Here’s what you’ll need to bring these cozy rolls to life:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 tablespoons milk (for icing)

If you’re like me and love playing around in the kitchen, feel free to swap in some whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor or add a dash more cinnamon for that extra spice kick.

Instructions

Ready to get baking? Here’s how you can whip up these delightful rolls:

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it gets frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture, melted butter, and pumpkin puree until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 6-8 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. If you’re baking with little ones, this is the perfect time to let them join in on the fun!
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour, or until it doubles in size. Meanwhile, enjoy a moment of peace with a good book or a cup of tea.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up the dough tightly from the long side and cut into 12 equal rolls.
  7. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them with a cloth, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and your kitchen smells like a pumpkin spice wonderland.
  9. While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by whisking together powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  10. Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling with icing.

Remember, home cooking is about love, not perfection. So if your rolls aren’t uniform, or if you sneak a taste of the icing before it’s time, that’s perfectly okay!
