Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the Dough:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u00be cup warm milk (about 110\u00b0F), 2\u00bc tsp active dry yeast, \u00bc cup granulated sugar, \u00bc cup unsalted butter (melted), 1 large egg, 1 egg yolk, \u00be cup canned pumpkin puree, 3\u00bc cups all-purpose flour, \u00be tsp salt, 1\u00bd tsp pumpkin pie spice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Filling:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u00bd cup unsalted butter (softened), \u00be cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, \u00bd cup canned pumpkin puree<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

4 oz cream cheese (softened), 3 tbsp unsalted butter (softened), \u00be cup powdered sugar, \u00bd tsp vanilla extract, 1\u20132 tbsp milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Warm the milk and pour it into a large bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5\u201310 minutes until foamy. Stir in the sugar, melted butter, egg, egg yolk, and pumpkin puree. Mix until smooth. Add flour, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until a sticky dough forms, then knead by hand or mixer for 8\u201310 minutes until smooth and elastic. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 to 1\u00bd hours until doubled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, make the filling by mixing softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and pumpkin puree into a smooth paste. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a 14×9-inch rectangle. Spread the pumpkin spice filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a log. Slice into 9 even rolls using a sharp knife or unflavored floss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the rolls in a greased 9×9-inch or round baking dish. Cover and let rise again for 30\u201345 minutes until puffy. Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C) and bake the rolls for 25\u201328 minutes until golden and cooked through. While the rolls bake, beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to make the glaze. Spread the glaze over warm rolls so it melts into the layers. Serve warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for Extra Fall Flavor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use high-quality canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) for the best taste. Add a dash of maple syrup to the glaze for a maple-pumpkin twist. Sprinkle chopped pecans over the filling for crunch. Want extra spice? Add a pinch of nutmeg or clove to the dough or filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional Add-Ons & Variations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Top with toasted pecans or crushed gingersnap cookies. Swap the glaze for a maple brown butter drizzle. Add a layer of mini chocolate chips in the filling for a pumpkin mocha vibe. Make them overnight by prepping the rolls, covering, and refrigerating before the second rise. Let them come to room temp and rise before baking the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls are everything fall baking should be\u2014warm, rich, spiced just right, and dripping with sweet cream cheese glaze.
