3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, warm the milk and add the melted butter, pumpkin puree, and egg. Whisk to combine. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and knead until a soft dough forms. Let it rise in a warm area covered with a damp cloth for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Filling

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Spread the softened butter over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the spiced sugar mixture evenly on top.

Assemble the Rolls

Roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 12×8 inches. Carefully roll it up tightly from the longer side. Slice into 1 to 1.5-inch pieces and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes to allow the rolls to become fluffy and delicious.

Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pumpkin cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

4. Storage Tips for Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Store any leftover pumpkin cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate them for up to 5 days. To enjoy them warm again, microwave for about 20 seconds or reheat in a Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast for a quick revival.

5. Serving Suggestions for the Best Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

These pumpkin cinnamon rolls are divine on their own, but for an extra special touch, drizzle with cream cheese frosting or caramel sauce. For a decadent experience, pair with a hot beverage like a spicy chai latte or a seasonal Autumn Gin Sour. For an added hint of fall flavor, serve alongside our Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites.

6. FAQs About Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Can I make these pumpkin cinnamon rolls gluten-free?

How long do homemade cinnamon rolls last?
