The Best Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls - They’re soft, light, fluffy and there’s just enough pumpkin flavor to notice, but not so much that it overwhelms the inherent beauty of classic cinnamon rolls. Topped with cream cheese glaze, they’re totally irresistible.
INGREDIENTS
Dough
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
2 1/4 teaspoons instant dry yeast (one 1/4-ounce packet, I use Red Star Platinum)
pinch salt, to taste
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (1 stick)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg, lightly whisked
Filling
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3/4 of 1 stick), very soft – let it sit out while dough rises
1 to 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
2+ tablespoons cinnamon (I used 3+)
Cream Cheese Glaze
4 ounces brick-style cream cheese (lite is okay), softened – let it sit out on the second rise or while rolls bake
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
pinch salt, optional and to taste (helps balance the sweetness)
about 3 to 4 tablespoons half-and-half or cream, or as needed for consistency
