Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Do you love Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls but not sure about the one in the can? I don’t blame you. Homemade Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls is a total bomb and taste so much better than the canned version (well, in my opinion). What’s better than anything homemade?

Why Make Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Imagine a nice cool Fall morning when you don’t have to rush off to work (say the weekend), and your home is smelling like delicious Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls while you bake, as the children hang out in the living room playing games or snuggled up under warm blankets. Dad’s either hanging out with them or helping you get coffee ready. Then you all (well, it may be you and the hubby alone on this one) gather dessert plates of said Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls, hot coffee and set out to eat. You look outside the window, the trees are a beautiful, colorful hues of orange, yellow, and red and the leaves are slowly falling. Ah, can you picture it? Ok, well let’s get you baking these delicious Pumpkin Rolls then!
