Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Description
The Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Recipe starts with a yeast dough that includes canned pumpkin, eggs, shortening, milk, sugars, and instant pudding mixes. After rising, the dough is rolled out, brushed with melted butter, and layered with a sweet, spiced filling made from brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Rolled up jelly-roll style, cut into slices, and baked until golden, these rolls have a tender, soft crumb thanks to the enriched dough and pudding ingredients. They offer a gentle pumpkin flavor blended with warm cinnamon spice.
The method uses two rises to develop light, fluffy texture. Baking in 9x13 pans allows the rolls to expand and brown evenly. Although the recipe includes an icing, the focus is on tender, spiced yeast rolls that showcase pumpkin in a classic cinnamon roll format, suitable for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.
