Description
A delicious and easy recipe for pumpkin cinnamon roll bake that combines the warm flavors of pumpkin and cinnamon in a tender, bakery-style treat perfect for fall mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk or almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until completely smooth
- Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt
- Create batter: Gradually combine dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just blended; avoid overmixing to prevent tough texture
- Add filling: Spread softened butter on the dough and sprinkle with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon, then roll tightly and cut into pieces
- Bake: Place in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and set in center
- Finish: While baking, prepare frosting by mixing powdered sugar with milk and vanilla until smooth, then drizzle over warm rolls
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for better mixing and more even texture throughout the bake
- Don’t overmix the batter once you add flour – this keeps the texture tender rather than tough and chewy
- Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with just a few moist crumbs
- Let the bake cool for 10 minutes before adding frosting to prevent it from melting completely off
