PUMPKIN. SPICE. ROLLS!!!!!!!!!

Ingredients

  • 4 – 4 1/2 cups flour (plus more for working the dough)

  • 1 packet active dry yeast

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 1/2 cup vegan milk

  • 1/2 cup melted butter

  • 1/4th cup white sugar

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree

  • 4 tsp pumpkin spice seasoning or apple pie seasoning – divided

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4th tsp almond extract

  • Filling
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter (room temperature)

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice seasoning or apple pie seasoning

  • Sprinkle of cinnamon

  • Icing
  • 1/4th cup vegan cream cheese

  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tbsp water

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Directions

  • In a large bowl add your vegan milk and butter and microwave until about 110 degrees ( about 2-3 minutes). Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, add your pumpkin puree, 2 tsp pumpkin spice seasoning, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, 1/4ths cup sugar, and 1/4th almond extract and whisk until well combined!
  • Add your pumpkin mix to your butter mixture and whisk until combined. Ensure it is still around 110 degrees if not microwave together for another minute.
  • Next add your active dry yeast to the mixture, whisk and set aside for about 2-5 minutes while the mix gets frothy.
  • In a separate bowl, add 4 cups of flour, salt and 2 tsp pumpkin spice seasoning and whisk.
  • Add in your wet mix to your flour and mix until combined.
  • On a clean, floured surface knead your dough until you create a smooth ball ( if it still feels too sticky feel free to add more flour 1/2 at a time until you can make it a clean ball!) and place your ball into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a towel and place in the oven on warm for 1 hour
  • Next, take your dough out of your bowl (should be doubled in size) and knead on a clean floured surface into a rectangle – roll your rectangle out into a 1/2 inch thickness
  • Combine all your filling ingredients and add an even layer to your dough! I like to dash cinnamon on top as well.
  • Roll at the base of the dough ( tightly but gently) until you get a giant log – trim off uneven tips and begin to slice your log into 1 inch rolls and set on a oiled cake tin
  • Once again, cover your cake-tins with a towel and set them in the oven on warm for 30 minutes for their final poof! Almost done!
  • Now its time to bake! Set your oven to 350 and set your perfect rolls in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes and voila!
  • To make the icing, combine all ingredients and pour on top of your rolls fresh out of the oven!

Notes

  • Flour and dough can be tricky! If your dough feels a little too wet don’t be afraid to add more flour in 7 or 8! Cooking is an art – I always have 1 cup of flour extra just in case I need it 🙂
