Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 3 cups flour, divided
  • cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Filling

  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 4 tablespoons chilled butter cut into small sections

Glaze

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Instructions

Dough

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl and let stand five minutes. Add 2/3 cup flour, pumpkin, milk, butter, sugar, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla to bowl and mix well. Transfer to a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and knead on low 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add flour 1 tablespoon at a time until dough forms a ball and is mostly no longer sticky. (May still be a bit tacky)
  • Coat a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl and cover. Place bowl in a warm place and allow dough to rise 45 minutes or until doubled in size.

Filling

  • Combine sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl. Cut in butter with two forks or a pastry cutter until mixture resembles course crumbs.
  • Punch dough down. Allow to rest 10 minutes. Roll dough into a rectangle, about 12x12 inches. Sprinkle with filling. Roll tightly, pinch ends to seal, and slice into 9 sections. Place sections flat side down in a well greased 8x8 inch square pan. Cover and allow to rise about 30 more minutes or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 375. Bake rolls about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.

Glaze

  • Mix together powdered sugar, milk, maple extract, and maple syrup. Drizzle over rolls and serve warm.

Notes

  • Serve immediately or store in airtight container at room temperature up to three days.
