  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/4 cup confectioners sugar aka: powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar don't pack it down
  • 1 tbsp pure pumpkin
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • cups cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar aka: powdered sugar
  • 1/8 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the butter, confectioners sugar, brown sugar, pure pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Very lightly grease a 9x13 baking pan.
    Cut the rolls in half (horizontally) and place the bottom half of the rolls in the baking pan.
  • Spread half of the mixture onto the rolls.
  • Add the top half back onto the bottom half of the rolls, and spread the remaining mixture evenly over the top of the rolls.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden in color.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the pumpkin cream cheese frosting by combining all ingredients in a small bowl and mixing really well until you reach a smooth consistency.
    Sammy's tip: if you want a thinner frosting add a splash of milk.
  • Allow the rolls to cool for at least 10 minutes before evenly spreading the frosting all over the rolls.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy.
