There is something so special about the smell of cinnamon and pumpkin filling the kitchen during October. These rolls are soft, sweet, and just right for a relaxing weekend brunch with the family.

My favorite trick for these is to make sure your dough is at the right temperature before rolling it out. It makes the whole process much smoother and leads to lighter rolls every single time.

🧺 Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon for filling
2 tablespoons softened butter for filling

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a baking dish.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3
Slowly stir in the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon until a soft dough forms.
4
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll it into a large rectangle.
5
Spread the softened butter over the dough and sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar and cinnamon filling.
6
Roll the dough into a tight log and slice it into equal pieces.
7
Place the rolls into your prepared baking dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
8
Let them cool slightly before serving warm.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. You can reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds to get that fresh from the oven softness again.
