This recipe is one of our favorites for fall each year. You can make these Pumpkin Sweet Rolls for breakfast, or for a special weekend treat! We make them a few times each year along with Apple Cider, and my family always devours them in no time.

Make those fall mornings perfect by making these Pumpkin Sweet Rolls!

This recipe uses my Pumpkin Butter recipe. It’s a no-bake recipe and takes just a few minutes to whip up! If you like special fall breakfast ideas like this one, check out these Turkey Face Donuts I make every year for Thanksgiving!

Pumpkin Sweet Rolls Recipe

This recipe does use yeast. Don’t let that discourage you. Yeast is not complicated to work with. Keep in mind, you want your liquid to be warm enough to activate, but not so hot that it kills the yeast. Aim for a temperature of about 135 degrees. Test your liquid with a thermometer if you are in doubt.

I highly recommend using butter and not margarine in this recipe. The butter will add flakiness and a burst of flavor in each bite. While it is more expensive than margarine, it is well worth the price in terms of taste.

You may notice that I didn’t add cinnamon to the recipe, pumpkin pie spice already has it included. Combined with ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, it adds the perfect pop of flavor. Not to mention the mouth-watering aroma these pumpkin butter sweet rolls produces. Your house will smell so inviting as these are baking!

These are best when they’re still warm from the oven! They’re ooey gooey and delicious! They’re absolutely perfect for those crisp fall mornings! But, to be fair, you simply must try them in several ways. Fresh from the oven, warm, and if you happen to have any that last long enough, try one chilled with a glass of milk and let me know how you prefer them.
