Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls are AMAZING and worth every minute that they take to prepare!

I will admit this Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Recipe takes a bit of time, but it is worth it in the end.  I adapted this recipe from my co-worker Barbara Hacker, who taught me so much before her passing.  I think of her every time that I make these for my family and miss her wisdom.

I am blessed to have spent my first year of teaching with her as my mentor and because of her influence she really helped guide me as a teacher and in life.  Before her passing we shared some time together and I know she is looking down on me smiling as I made these in her honor.

Prep Time:45 mins
Cook Time:40 mins
Total Time:1 hr 25 mins

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup warm water 100 degrees F
  • 1 .25 ounce package active dry yeast
  • 1 5 ounce can evaporated milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 15 ounce can Organic pumpkin (reserve 2 TBSP for glaze)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour or more if needed
  • 1/4 cup melted butter + 2 TBSP butter
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3 ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  • Pour warm water into a large mixing bowl, and sprinkle yeast over the water.
  • Allow to stand until the yeast begins to foam, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir in evaporated milk, granulated sugar, pumpkin, olive oil, and egg. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Stir in 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, then add about 5 cups of flour, or as needed to make a stiff dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Dough will be slightly sticky to the touch but will not stick to your hands.
  • Form the dough into a ball, place into an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise on top of the pre-heated oven for about 45 minutes. (The dough will rise, but it won't double.)
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Punch down the dough, and roll it out to a rectangle shape on a floured surface until it measures approximately 18 inches wide and 26 inches long.
  • Brush the dough with 1/4 cup melted butter.
  • Mix 1 1/4 cup brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl, and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough.
  • Roll up the dough the vertically, and pinch the seam closed, then cut the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces with a sharp knife or with unwaxed dental floss.
  • Melt 2 TBSP butter into the bottom of the pie plate and combine with 1/4 cup brown sugar to form a caramel.
  • Lay the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
  • Allow the rolls to rise covered with a towel on top of the pre-heated over for 30 minutes
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • While the rolls are baking, combine vanilla extract, cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, confectioners' sugar, 2 TBSP Pumpkin and milk together to make a glaze.
  • Turn cinnamon rolls out (Caramel will be on top) and then drizzle the glaze over the rolls as soon as they come out of the oven.
