Easy Cinnamon Roll Pumpkins Recipe

Directions

  1. Let the dough thaw and rise according to package directions. Or see the recipe notes in the post for speed thaw + rise methods.
  2. Preheat oven to 350ºF. 
  3. Mix together the brown sugar and the cinnamon.
  4. Cut each cinnamon stick into 4 small pieces (see the video).
  5. Once the dough has thawed, gently press the dough with one finger to test. If the dough “bounces” back (meaning you can no longer see an indentation after a few seconds), it’s ready.
  6. Gently flatten a piece of dough with your fingers. Spoon 1/2 a teaspoon of the brown sugar mixture into the center. 
  7. Cut the butter into tablespoons, and then quarter each tablespoon into smaller pieces (for 12 pieces total). 
  8. Press a piece of butter into the center of each piece of dough, on top of the brown sugar.
  9. Carefully wrap the dough around the filling, so that no filling is loose or showing. Pinch the top to gently seal (it’s okay if it doesn’t stay perfectly closed).
  10. Keep the seam on top and loosely wrap the dough with the twine to create a pumpkin shape (see the video).
  11. Line  baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray. Place the rolls on the prepared pan and bake for 15-17 minutes until lightly browned.
  12. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before gently removing the twine.
  13. Spoon the glaze over the rolls. Press a cinnamon stick into the top of each roll to complete the pumpkin.

Notes

  • I used a heating pad to speed up the thaw and rise process for my Rhodes Bake-N-Serv frozen dinner rolls. It only took about 45 minutes!
  • Another speed rise method:  Heat oven to 300ºF. Turn off heat and crack the door to let heat escape for a few minutes. Meanwhile, place the frozen dough balls on a cookie sheet (not touching) and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Place the cookie sheet in the oven to thaw and rise for about 30 minutes.
