  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cinnamon rolls

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

For the frosting:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons brewed coffee (or espresso)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by warming the milk to about 110°F and dissolving the yeast in it. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Add melted butter, pumpkin, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Roll out the dough into a 16×12-inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar. Roll tightly from the longer side and slice into 12 pieces.
  6. Place slices in a greased baking dish. Cover loosely and let rise for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. For the frosting, whip together softened butter, powdered sugar, brewed coffee, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more coffee or powdered sugar.
  9. Once baked, drizzle the cinnamon rolls with the Coffee Maple Frosting and serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure the milk is warm enough to activate the yeast but not too hot to kill it.
  • For softer rolls, let them rise in a warm, draft-free area.
  • You can add chopped nuts or raisins before rolling for extra flavor and texture.
  • If refrigerating overnight, cover tightly and allow to come to room temperature before baking.
