Welcome to Day 3 of Pumpkin Week! Are you enjoying it so far? We’ve covered muffins, bars and today we’re making cinnamon rolls with a pumpkin twist! You can also check out Pumpkin Week Day 4, Day 5, Day 6 and Day 7 by clicking on each day.
I love having cinnamon rolls for Thanksgiving morning and Christmas morning. There’s just something about them that yells special, festive breakfast around here. Maybe it’s because those are usually the only times I make cinnamon rolls. Anyhow, they’re a real treat around here and we love these pumpkin flavored rolls especially. I personally like to double batches around here because they can go fast and if I’m going to put the work into making them from the start, I might as well make enough to freeze or have for another day.

Kitchen Tip: Besides making your own pumpkin puree, don’t forget that you can make your own brown sugar if you run out. No point in heading to the store if you have the ingredients on hand.
