gog-pumpkin-spice-cinnamon-rolls-16

Did you know today is NATIONAL PUMPKIN DAY?! It’s true! :)  My own special recipe created just for the day, Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls in 60 minutes!

Yields 18-24 ROLLS!

Ingredients

  • 2  tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp salted butter(melted)
  • 1/2 cups warm milk
  • 3/4 cup pureed pumpkin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 TBS sugar
  • 3 or so cups flour
  • 1 stick butter(softened)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 2 TBS cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg

glaze

  • 4 oz cream cheese{softened}
  • 1/4 cup butter {melted}
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups powder sugar
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  1. Activate yeast in warm water and 1 tsp sugar. Once activated, add 3 tbsp melted butter, milk, pumpkin puree, salt, and 1/3 cup sugar and combine! Add enough flour to make a firm yet sticky dough.
  2. Place on a generously floured surface and knead for 5 minutes adding flour when necessary {be super careful not to add too much flour!!} Let set for 15 minutes in warm room or warm oven that has been cold to about 90 degrees.
  3. Meanwhile generously butter 2 -9×14 pirex or 4 9 ” round cake pans.
  4. Flour a clean surface and roll out dough forming a large triangle{about 1/2 inch thick}. Spread 2 sticks softened butter on top of the dough then sprinkle with white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Roll up length wise and slice into 1.5″ think rolls. Place in pans, cover, and once again to rise for 20 minutes! Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze! Place butter, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla in an electric mixer. Beat to combine then slowly add powder sugar. Set aside until sticky buns are baked!
  6. Once the rolls have risen, bake for 14-17 minutes{or until golden on top and baked through}! Immediately flip onto a serving plate, allowing them to cool for 10-15 minutes. Generously drizzle glaze over the sticky buns… very generously!!
  7. Fix a rather large cup of coffee and enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls!

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.  But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”

“For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.”‭‭2 Cor‬ ‭5:1-9‬ ‭
