🎃 Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Bake

Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Mixture:
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
½ cup whole milk
¼ cup maple syrup or packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
For the Cinnamon Rolls:
2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing, 8 rolls per can
2 tablespoons melted butter, for greasing the baking dish
For the Topping:
The icing included with the cinnamon roll packages
1–2 tablespoons milk, if needed to thin the icing
1 tablespoon chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
A light sprinkle of cinnamon, optional
Instructions
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with melted butter.
Prepare the pumpkin mixture:
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, maple syrup or brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Prepare the cinnamon rolls:
Remove the cinnamon rolls from their packages and cut each roll into 4 pieces. Arrange the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Add the pumpkin mixture:
Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces. Gently toss or press the pieces down slightly so the pumpkin mixture can soak into the dough.
Bake:
Bake uncovered for 30–38 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through in the center. If the top starts browning too quickly, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
Add the icing:
Let the bake cool for about 5–10 minutes. Warm the included cinnamon-roll icing slightly if needed. For a thinner drizzle, mix it with 1–2 tablespoons of milk. Spread or drizzle generously over the warm cinnamon rolls.
Finish and serve:
Sprinkle with a little cinnamon and chopped pecans or walnuts if desired. Serve warm while the center is soft and gooey.
⭐ Helpful Tip
For the best texture, don’t overbake. The center should be soft and moist while the top is golden brown. Serve warm for the ultimate pumpkin-cinnamon-roll experience.
