Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: Warm the milk slightly and sprinkle the yeast over it; let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree, melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
  3. Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and pumpkin pie spice, then gradually add this to the wet mixture.
  4. Knead the dough: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Let it rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Make the filling: Mix brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon together for the filling.
  7. Roll it out: After rising, punch down the dough and roll it out into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle.
  8. Spread the filling: Evenly spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the dough, leaving a border.
  9. Roll it up: Roll the dough tightly into a log.
  10. Cut and place in pan: Slice into 1-inch pieces and place in a greased baking dish.
  11. Final rise: Let rolls rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  13. Cool and frost: Allow to cool slightly, then mix powdered sugar with milk and drizzle over warm rolls.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. You can also opt for coconut oil instead of butter for a plant-based option.
