Cozy Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Recipe for Fall

In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. This means the yeast is active and ready to help the dough rise.

Add in the sugar, salt, and egg.

Gradually mix in the flour, and create a soft dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

Stir in the chopped walnuts, ensuring an even distribution.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Spread the pumpkin filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log shape. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and arrange them in a greased baking dish.

Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for another 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Once the rolls have risen, bake them for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

While the rolls are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Spread the frosting generously over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.

Enjoy your delicious pumpkin cinnamon rolls with a cup of tea or coffee, perfect for cozy fall moments!
