🎃 Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls

Soft pumpkin cinnamon rolls filled with brown sugar and warm spices, then topped with a smooth cream cheese glaze. They’re a great fall breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

Dough
• 3¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 2¼ tsp active dry yeast
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup warm milk
• ½ cup pumpkin puree
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Filling
• 4 tbsp softened butter
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1½ tbsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ground cloves

Cream Cheese Glaze
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1–2 tbsp milk

Directions

Combine warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add pumpkin puree, melted butter, egg, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled.
Roll the dough into a large rectangle and spread evenly with softened butter.
Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 9–12 rolls.
Arrange in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 25–30 minutes.
Bake at 350°F for 22–28 minutes, until golden brown.
Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to create a thick, pourable glaze.
Spread the cream cheese glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve.
