    Let me first start out by saying that these cinnamon rolls were made exclusively by my hubby. He is “Mr. Breakfast”, whereas me, I am not. I am more of a “grab something quick and go” kind of gal.

    This past weekend, he mentioned he was in the mood for homemade cinnamon rolls. Since I had a can of already made cinnamon rolls in the fridge, I suggested we make those and call it good.

    Flavorful Pumpkin Rolls that bring the Fall season to life through your taste buds!

    Well, he wanted the real deal and said he would whip up a batch. Wow, am I ever glad he did! Homemade is SO much better then canned! The dough was perfectly fluffy and pumpkin spice filled, the cinnamon filling was amazing, and the cream cheese frosting complimented the rolls perfectly. Paired with a cup of coffee, this was a winner!!

    This recipe makes a 9 x 13 baking pan, so about 22 rolls. My hubby made our dough using our bread machine, but if you don’t have one, you can make the dough by hand!! These also freeze perfectly if you want to make them ahead and save them for the upcoming Holidays!!

    As Fall weather heads our way, why not spice up the season by making these tasty Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls? After all, Fall is pumpkin season, right?!

    When my kids were little, every year, we would load them up and spend the day at the pumpkin patch. We would go through the corn maze, take the hay ride through the pumpkin fields, drink warm apple cider, and play all the fun farm games. It was a fun way to kick off the Fall season, and of course, we would end the day by picking out our pumpkins.

    Since my kids are older now and no longer want to go to the pumpkin patches, I bring “Fall” into season by making tasty foods, decorating the house, lighting Fall candles/scents, and getting pumpkins. Traditions change, but pumpkin remains a favorite in our house!!

    Cream Cheese Frosting

    • 4 oz cream cheese
    • 2 cups powdered sugar
    • 4 tablespoon heavy whipping cream

    Instructions
     

    • Add the wet ingredients to the bottom of the bread machine pan (egg, buttermilk, and melted butter).
    • Next add in the flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin puree, and pinch of salt.
    • Create a small hole in the dry mixture and pour the yeast inside making sure not to allow the yeast to touch the wet ingredients or salt.
    • Lock pan into bread machine and turn on dough cycle.
    • Once dough is complete, remove from pan and place in a large bowl covered with plastic wrap.
    • Allow dough to rise for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
    • Once dough has risen, remove from bowl and place on a floured surface.
    • Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out until its about the same size as a 9 x 13 pan.
    • Spread softened butter evenly over dough, leaving about an inch on all sides.
    • Sprinkle the brown sugar, followed by the cinnamon on top of the butter.
    • Starting with the long side, roll the dough into a tightly wound log.
