• 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/3 cup Melted Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 Eggs
• 6 cups Flour
• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cinnamon
• 1/2 cup Softened Butter
• 2 cups Powdered Sugar
• 1/4 cup Cream Cheese
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

For this recipe, you���ll need a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, a rolling pin, and a 9×13 inch baking dish.

How To Make Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

1. Start by activating the yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it gets foamy.
2. Blend the yeast mixture with the pumpkin puree, sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs using the stand mixer.
3. Slowly add the flour. Let the dough hook do its job until it���s all incorporated and the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
5. Roll the dough out on a floured surface until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Spread softened butter over the dough.
6. Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon then sprinkle this evenly over the dough. Roll up your dough tightly.
7. Cut into 12 rolls and place in your baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat your oven to 375��F (190��C) and bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until they���re golden brown.
9. Prepare your icing by beating together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Drizzle this over the warm rolls.

Tips For The Best Results

Storage Tips

• Store those leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week, although, I doubt there will be any leftovers (wink)!
• These rolls can also be frozen for up to a month.
