Ingredients for Pumpkin Spice Latte Cinnamon Rolls

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 package active dry yeast
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese (optional for icing)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk (not hot) and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, pumpkin spice, and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Add the yeast mixture once it’s frothy.

4. Combine Mixtures: Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until a soft dough forms.

5. Knead the Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour.

6. Prepare Filling: Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle. Spread with softened butter and sprinkle with brown sugar and more pumpkin spice.

7. Roll and Cut: Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into 12 even slices.

8. Bake: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

9. Icing (Optional): While rolls are baking, mix powdered sugar with cream cheese (if using) and some water or milk to create a creamy icing. Drizzle over the warm rolls.

Top Tips for Perfecting Pumpkin Spice Latte Cinnamon Rolls

• Substitutions: If you’re out of pumpkin puree, you could use sweet potato puree instead for a similar taste.
• Timing: Ensure to let the dough rise in a warm environment. Drafty spots can inhibit the yeast’s action, leading to dense rolls.
• Common Mistakes: Avoid adding too much flour while kneading. The dough should be slightly tacky but manageable. If it feels too dry, add a splash of milk!

Storing and Reheating Tips

For those glorious leftovers, store your Pumpkin Spice Latte Cinnamon Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, pop them in the freezer for up to 3 months! To reheat, simply warm them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or wrap in aluminum foil and place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. This will keep them fluffy and delicious, just like when they first came out of the oven!
