Oh. my. gosh. Talk about an AMAZING idea! I love cinnamon rolls, I love pumpkin spice (and lets face it pumpkin spice is all the rage) so why not combine these two for a great EASY yummy breakfast!? No brainer. Now how to make it happen? Ummm… there’s a bunch of different recipes out there and they all sound yummy, but all seem to be so time-consuming which is what I don’t have an abundance of. So I decided to dig into my inner Betty Crocker and find a simple recipe that works with time and taste good too. Let’s be honest, I’m no Betty Crocker but I sure know how to buy her ingredients! If I had the time, making homemade dishes and baking everything from scratch is so fun, but with a very active 4 month old that ain’t happening. So most recipes I concoct are simple, tasty, and usually take 30 minutes or less. Such as this one! Surprisingly I nailed it on the first try, go me! Have you ever nailed a new recipe the first try? It feels awesome doesn’t it!? I did try it multiple ways and found that with a store brand pack or type that you can roll up work best to get the most pumpkin filling in.
So I am thinking of doing a holiday recipe series and posting a new holiday themed recipe idea every other week through the new year..they can count as your cheat meals ;). Now pumpkin spiced cinnamon rolls are seriously the easiest for anyone who isn’t a fantastic baker. This recipe will make your family and friends think you are Betty Crocker! …And it takes under 30 minutes to make!
What you will need:
- 1 can Libys pumpkin (this will make you WAY more than one serving of cinnamon rolls)
- 1+ can of store brand or brand that will allow you to self roll the bread you can use Pillsbury but I don’t recommend because they do not open up to allow you to add more of the pumpkin filling
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar or brown sugar
How to Cook:
- Preheat oven to 375° and take the icing from the package and place it on top of your oven.
- Place rolls on a non stick or lightly greased cookie sheet
- Unroll one roll until it is almost unraveled to the center.
- Take a spoon and spread pumpkin filling along bread all the way to the end. About 1/4 inch thick.
- Roll back up carefully to reshape the form of a cinnamon roll
- Bake recommended time as stated on package. I did one batch closer to the full-time and one closer to the minimum. Depending on your oven, I found baking these at the minimum time come out better.
- Cut open icing and spread evenly over each cinnamon roll.
Let cool and enjoy! A simple, EASY recipe to make the least educated baker look like a pro.
