Let’s be real, sometimes certain dishes can be a hassle to make from scratch. Sometimes things can fail, sometimes they are fickle and hey sometimes they do work and it ends up being worth it. BUT, it’s ok if you just want something that’s super easy but still tastes just as yummy as the from scratch recipe. We’ve all been there and GO there sometimes.
If that’s you right now, then you’ve come to the right place. These elevated pumpkin butter cinnamon rolls are as easy as pie… or should I say as easy as store bought cinnamon rolls? 😉 But there is no need to worry, they taste so much better.
These pumpkin cinnamon rolls are perfect for the fall season and holidays coming up. Need a Thanksgiving Breakfast idea? These would be perfect!! Want a fun treat to make with your kids for fall that’s easy peasy? Look no further.
What you’ll need:
- store bought cinnamon rolls
- pumpkin butter
- pumpkin pie spice
- heavy cream
- cream cheese
- powdered sugar
- vanilla extract
I don’t know if it’s just me but there is just something about the smell of cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven that is so special. It takes me to a place of comfort, memories and autumn vibes. One tradition my sisters family started (that we’ve joined in on) is making cinnamon rolls every thanksgiving morning while we watch the parade. What are some of your best memories of fall?
With all of that being said— let’s get STARTED!!
Pumpkin Butter Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
For Cinnamon Rolls:
- 1 roll cinnamon rolls (store bought)
- 1/4 cup pumpkin butter
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
For Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
For Cinnamon Rolls:
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Open your store bought cinnamon rolls and unravel them carefully without letting them detach from each other.
- Add your pumpkin butter on top and spread out over the unraveled dough until evenly spread out.
- Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.
- Roll them back up and place in a baking dish side by side.
- Pour heavy cream over the top of your cinnamon rolls. This will be absorbed by the dough while baking making the cinnamon rolls super fluffy and moist.
- Bake them in the oven for 15-20 minutes. They will be golden and most of the heavy cream should be absorbed.
For Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a bowl of a mixer add your cream cheese and whip until fluffy.
- Add in your heavy cream and beat until combined and larger in size.
- Add your pumpkin pie spice, powdered sugar and vanilla and whip again.
Assemble:
- Remove your cinnamon rolls from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Once slightly cooled, top with your cream cheese frosting.
- Share and enjoy your elevated pumpkin butter cinnamon rolls.
