Quick Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
Description
The recipe starts by mixing dry ingredients with softened butter, sugar, and pumpkin puree to form a dough without yeast. After rolling the dough out into a rectangle, cream cheese, honey, and cinnamon are spread on top. The dough is rolled up, sliced into one-inch pieces, and baked until golden brown. This method yields tender rolls with pumpkin's moisture and mild sweetness alongside cinnamon’s spice.
The glaze is made by gradually adding milk to powdered sugar, sometimes with vanilla extract, to create a drizzle that complements the rolls with added sweetness and shine. These rolls combine the seasonal flavor of pumpkin with easy preparation that doesn’t require rising time.
