  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cinnamon rolls

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
  • ½ cup warm milk
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 large egg

For the Coffee Maple Frosting:

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp brewed coffee
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, a pinch of sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy to activate the yeast.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add pumpkin puree, melted butter, egg, and activated yeast mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for approximately 1 hour or until doubled.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the dough into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick. Spread with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if desired.
  5. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 1 to 1.5-inch rounds. Arrange in a greased baking dish.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. While baking, prepare the frosting by beating softened butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, maple syrup, brewed coffee, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  8. Drizzle the warm cinnamon rolls with the Coffee Maple Frosting and serve immediately for the best experience.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough.
  • You can prepare the rolls a day ahead and store them in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave for a quick warm-up.
