I am so excited…..I finally got to make my Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls!! When I first moved into this house, these rolls were on my mind. It was almost September and the beginning of pumpkin spice season. Unfortunately, I did not have all of the ingredients…or maybe I couldn’t find the pan…..

whatever the problem was, it has finally been fixed and they were well worth the wait! I used my trusty bread machine, as I always do, but if you don’t have one you can find the step-by-step instructions in this post to make these yummy Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with a stand mixer.

How to make Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls:

Place pumpkin, warm milk, softened butter, egg, and brown sugar in the pan of your bread machine…..

Add the salt, pumpkin pie spice, and flour. Make a well in the center of the flour, and add the yeast…..

Place the pan in your bread machine, and set to the “dough” cycle. When machine beeps, check to see if dough has risen. Depending on temperatures, it may take longer than the actual cycle. Leave dough in machine until risen.

Place dough on a flour covered work surface and allow to rest for 10 minutes…..

Roll dough into a 15″ x 18″ rectangle…..

Spread butter over dough…..

Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl, sprinkle over the butter…..

Starting rolling up the long side of the dough to create a log…..

Mark dough…..

and slice into (12) 1 1/2″ slices…..

Place rolls into a 9 x 13 baking pan that has been sprayed with baking spray…..

Cover and allow to rise until doubled in size, about an hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees…..

Place in oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through in the center…..

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.

Beat cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl until smooth. Add the maple extract and powdered sugar, and beat until creamy…..

Frost rolls and serve…..

These rolls are rich, but not heavy. They are fluffy with all of the flavors of fall blended in…..and that creamy maple flavored cream cheese frosting takes them over the top…..

I swear that there is some kind of electrical force field or poltergeist that blocks cell reception and messes with the camera’s focusing abilities in this house!! And don’t even get me started on that ridiculous electric cook top. It is the absolute cheapest range they could buy, and then they bent the coils to hell so pans won’t even sit straight on the one and only large burner…..but at least the oven works really well. I may have to skip cooking and become a baker instead, LOL 🙂
