One of my favorite reasons for hosting a playgroup every week is that I have an excuse to bake and try out new recipes.This week I really wanted to make these mini cinnamon rolls I’ve had pinned forever, but because it’s fall I also really wanted to do something with the cans of pumpkin that have been sitting in my pantry forever. So I decided to try and combine the mini cinnamon rolls with this great Picky-Palate pumpkin breakfast roll recipe. Not only were they quick, they were delicious as well. And because I made mini versions, I felt like I could eat three twelve  rather than just one.

Make these easy mini pumpkin rolls in just a few minutes by using refrigerated crescent rolls and a few extra ingredients. One of the best fall desserts and perfect for a fall brunch food!
Mini Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
If you like these, you have to try out my newest version – mini chocolate sweet rolls. They’re perfect for the chocolate lover and good for all year round.
Now back to the recipe. First, gather your ingredients – crescent rolls, pumpkin, cream cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg, powdered sugar, and vanilla
Step 1: Mix pumpkin, cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together until well combined.
Step 2: Roll out crescent rolls and pinch seams together so you have one long rectangle. Spread pumpkin mixture over rolls.
Step 3: Roll up (start with the long side) tightly then cut into small rolls about 1/2 inch thick. I highly recommend using dental floss to cut the rolls.
Step 4: Bake in mini muffin tins.
Step 5: Frost while warm and enjoy.

Mini Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls (adapted from here and here)

Makes: 36 cinnamon rolls (depending on size)

Ingredients:

2 cans of Pillsbury crescent rolls

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup canned pumpkin

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray mini muffin tins (36) with non-stick baking spray.
  2. Mix cream cheese, canned pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together until well combined.
  3. Unroll one package of crescent rolls and lay down to form one long rectangle. Pinch seams together on one side then flip over to pinch seams together on the other. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to make sure seams are closed.
  4. op the rolled out dough with half of the pumpkin mixture, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges.
  5. Starting at the long side, roll the dough up into a long log.
  6. Cut the rolls (recommend using dental floss to cut) into about 1/2 inch rolls and place each into a prepared muffin tin. This should give you approximately 18 rolls depending on size.
  7. Repeat with the other crescent rolls and other half of the pumpkin mixture.
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until lightly browning on top and dough is cooked.
  9. Remove from muffin tin to cool for a few minutes. Top warm rolls with frosting.

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 T canned pumpkin

    These were absolutely delicious! Everyone loved them 🙂 I may add a little more cinnamon next time, but that is only because we love cinnamon.
    A bit of advice, which helped me. When laying out the crescent roll dough, make sure to put the pieces very close together. This will help when you are pinching them together. I slightly overlapped each piece. I used a little water on the edges to help keep them together.
    When I had to flip the dough over, I layer a piece of parchment paper over the dough and flipped it over that way. I was so easy!
    Inside of using dental floss to cut them, I used a sharp knife. One end does get smashed, but when you pick it up to put into the muffin pan, it is easy to re-shape it.
    Make this recipe. They are little bites of yummy-ness!

      Oops!
      My typing was atrocious! “I laid a piece of.”…not layer!
      “Inside of using dental floss” …it should have been, instead of using dental floss!
