Easy Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
I was first introduced to Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls by the Pioneer Woman. I heard many rave about her pumpkin pie cinnamon rolls only a few ingredients stood out – flour and dry yeast. You guys, I have five kids. I want a tasty pumpkin recipe without all the work of making my own dough. If I was going to replicate this fall breakfast recipe, it was going to have to be easy!
It wasn’t hard to for me to twist this recipe up. Instead of making my own dough recipe, I was going to com in prepared (you all know I love my family-approved Pillsbury Crescent Rolls Recipes.) Thus, I come to you with some Food Network Ree Drummond inspiration and an Easy Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with homemade cream cheese frosting and no yeast!
These Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect breakfast for Thanksgiving! Serve with our Breakfast Casseroles for a Large Crowd. You could reserve them during a Friendsgiving and add Pumpkin Ice Cream.

Instructions
Preparing the Cinnamon Rolls
First, unroll the packages of Pillsbury crescent rolls and press on the seams of the dough to seal up. You’ll have one full sheet from each crescent dough package.
Next, evenly spread the canned pumpkin puree across the dough rectangles, leaves ¾ inch untouched on the edges.
Take your brown sugar and sprinkle across the pumpkin spread. Do the same with the pumpkin spice.
Once complete, start to roll up the dough at the shorter end and pinch the seams to seal well. Repeat with the second roll.
Next, slice the rolls into 8 rounds and place into a greased baking pan.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20-24 minutes or until golden brown.
Preparing the Cream Cheese Frosting
While baking, prepare the frosting.
First, blend together cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl.
Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla. Set aside or transfer to a piping bag (or Ziploc with one corner trimmed off) to drizzle frosting when rolls are ready.
Once rolls finish baking, allow to cool before adding frosting.
Serve warm and Enjoy!
