And these are the best pumpkin cinnamon rolls I’ve ever made. I prefer these over Cinnabon, and that’s a big statement coming from a former Cinnabon junkie.

Next time you make cinnamon rolls, mix the brown sugar mixture into the softened butter. Not only does this cut a step, but insures even distribution of yummie Sugar mixture without losing any while rolling the dough.

Great tip!

Do you add the yeast in step 3? The recipe talks about yeast, but never says to add it.

Step 1. in the directions – reread that part. Enjoy!

They sound wonderful. I start cinnamon rolls in my bread machine. Would this work for the base for this recipe?

I don’t know because I don’t have a bread machine and have never tried baking in one so can’t say for sure.

I’m wondering if these could be prepared and frozen until needed – Taken out of freezer and baked?

Perhaps would be fine although I haven’t tried it that way. I do have make ahead directions included, but not for the freezer.

These sound amazing! Lord willing I’m making these Saterday for my cousins wedding. It’s a pumpkin themed potluck country wedding :) her wedding cake is going to be a pumpkin spiced cake so I’m deciding between these and your regular yeast cinnamon rolls, both look mouth watering! :) do the pumpkin rolls have a very pumpkin/pumpkin spiced flavor? Thanks for all you do! We appreciate you :) thanks for sharing your God given talent with all of us!

Sorry I just read your remarks at the top of the page about the flavors I should have read the whole thing first :) the dough is rising now it smells really good! :)

I was worried they would be a lot of work, but they were actually very easy, and the dough rolled out like a dream! Not finicky like dough can sometimes be. Excited to try the orange cinnamon rolls next!

Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you!

The last time I made pumpkin cinnamon rolls was Fall 2012 when I was writing Cooking With Pumpkin.

Last fall I made Honey Butter Pumpkin Dinner Rolls, but was beyond overdue for pumpkin cinnamon rolls.

And these are the best pumpkin cinnamon rolls I’ve ever made. I prefer these over Cinnabon, and that’s a big statement coming from a former Cinnabon junkie.

They’re soft, light, fluffy and there’s just enough pumpkin flavor to notice, but not so much that it overwhelms the inherent beauty of classic cinnamon rolls. Topped with cream cheese glaze, they’re totally irresistible.

I have a habit of donating most of what I bake after my family has a bite or a piece since we don’t need entire cakes, multiple pans of bars, and dozens of cookies, every week. My daughter asked, “Mom, how many of these did you make?” And I said an entire pan and she said, “Good, don’t donate any of them!”

She said they’re the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever made and that the center bites are the best because they’re so soft and juicy. I agree.

I used my current favorite yeast roll recipe as the jumping off point and worked in pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and plenty of cinnamon and brown sugar. I love this recipe too but it makes quite a hearty amount and we just don’t need all those rolls.

The dough is buttermilk-based, and although I’ve made non-buttermilk sweet rolls, for the softest, lightest, and most tender rolls, I swear by buttermilk. Between the buttermilk, butter, and egg, the dough rises beautifully and it’s my favorite dough base.

There’s an option to make the rolls as overnight rolls. Start the dough at night, roll and shape it, and refrigerate the coiled rolls until you’re ready to bake the next morning. That way you don’t have to get up at 5am to have these ready with your first cup of coffee.

The glaze is a simple glaze of cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and a splash of cream. It makes more than the average person may want on their rolls, but it keeps for weeks in the fridge. I’m a dip, glaze, and frosting-aholic, and can never have too much. I keep a little cup on the side of my plate so I can double-dip.

The glaze soaks into the nooks and crannies and adds even more moisture and softness.

Total gooey, cinnamon-and-sugary, juicy perfection. Center bites make me absolutely weak in the knees.

Definitely my new favorite cinnamon rolls.

Worth every last bit of cardio.
