Easy Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

One of our family’s favorite sweet treats happens to be cinnamon rolls, or buns as some would call them. On the weekend, we love to head to a local bakery and pick up a half dozen of their cinnamon rolls which are now available in pumpkin.

That got me thinking, why don’t I try to make some cinnamon rolls from scratch?

What a disaster that initially was! You see, yeast and me just don’t get along! I have zero patience to let yeast activate or rise. My buns were like doughy rocks that could have possibly broken a window should my son have thrown a bun at one!

However, rather than wallow, I turned to one of my favorite baking ingredients… crescent roll dough! I’ve used crescent roll dough to make some of our most popular recipes like Cream Cheese Danish and Pepperoni Pizza Bombs on our sister site Sizzling Eats.

Based on my past success, I knew it could easily be baked into fluffy and delicious Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls. These rolls can be enjoyed for breakfast or dessert!
