For this recipe, I decided to blend my homemade pumpkin puree with some brown sugar to sweeten it, along with some cinnamon and nutmeg as warm spices.
The end result? … turned out fantastic!ย
These pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls have a subtle pumpkin flavor and are enhanced by warm spices of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Plus, these rolls are topped with our easy-to-make luscious cream cheese icing and boy – they turned out so amazing, they become addicting.
Our Easy Cinnamon Rolls with Raisins and Walnuts are definitely the favorite, and these Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls are just as good!
Delicate cinnamon rolls like these are even better when they’re made with homemade pumpkin puree.
If you’re short on time? Keep in mind, that you can use the canned pumpkin with this recipe as well.
Fresh Pumpkin vs Canned Pumpkin…
- As soon as the pumpkins hit the farms and stores, I run out to buy a few and get busy working on them.ย ย I enjoy making homemade pumpkin puree and using fresh pumpkins to make desserts and dishes.ย
- There’s something about fresh pumpkin in baked goods.
- The flavor is much milder and the color is lighter.
- Adding fresh pumpkin to these rolls, or any recipe will give them incredible nutrients like vitamin A, along with antioxidants and carotenes in abundance.
How to Make EASY Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls?
There are 4 easy steps to make these rolls.
STEP 1: Simply open a package of puff pastry sheets from Pepperidge Farms and allow them to thaw for a few minutes.
STEP 2: Carefully unfold and brush each pastry sheet with some melted butter.
3rd STEP: Spread a layer of pumpkin mixture onto each sheet and roll each one like a jelly roll, then cut into 6 individual rolls.
STEP 4: Place all 12 rolls into a 12-cup muffin pan, brush the tops with melted butter, and bake.
Easy Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls are delicious for a weekend breakfast or an afternoon snack with coffee or tea.
For me, as soon as they pop out of the oven – I knew I couldn’t resist!
I had to eat one before the icing was added, and then the second one as soon as I smeared some of that addicting icing on top.
You have to try these little cuties. We know you’ll love them too!
Have a great day!
ENJOY!!

I am with you Joanne! I need to double the batch next time. They are petite and disappear very quickly.
I know these are good because I made some with bread dough! Too dangerous to keep in the house!
