This Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls Recipe is the perfect weekend breakfast, they are also a great on-the-go weekday breakfast once you have them done. They last a lot of time in the freezer (up to 6 months!!), you can keep them up in your fridge for up to 1 week and let’s be honest, everyone loves them!
My personal favorite thing about them is how tasty and warm they are! They are spicy yes and taste like our favorite fall drink ;) They are also incredibly quick to make. Seriously only 1 hour from start to finish!
They are incredibly fun to make with the little ones that really love to help with the cooking and kneading processes! I mean, what else can we ask for in a recipe? It’s quick (1 hour!!) + it’s freezer-friendly + it’s a total crowd favorite! Bring it up!
For me, the secret is in the filling. While the outer layer is doughy and soft and just a bit crunchy and literally baked to perfection, the magic is on the inside. I make the filling with butter and brown sugar and pumpkin spice and a tiny bit of cream cheese.
All those things mixed together create this uber soft and super fragrant cinnamon roll filling that’s just to die for! If you are feeling like going the extra mile, you can also top them with cream cheese glaze, but if not, the pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls are really good by themselves.
Make a big batch and share with the neighbors, wrap it up for a hostess gift and make them for an everyday breakfast. After all, when you have a breakfast that takes only 1 hour and looks and tastes this good, you know you are going to end up using the recipe a lot more times than once.
