Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3 to 3 1/2 cups flour

Filling:

  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Icing:

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons milk

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough: In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, mix milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and egg. Add the yeast mixture and gradually incorporate the flour until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, then let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  • Make the Filling: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Mix well until smooth.
  • Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough into a log and cut it into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Prepare the Icing: While the rolls are baking, mix butter and cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and milk, beating until creamy.
  • Serve: Once the rolls are out of the oven, spread the icing over them while they are still warm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For an extra touch of flavor, add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or raisins to the filling before rolling up the dough.
  • These rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, warm in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
