Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
The addition of cooked down pumpkin puree makes these cinnamon rolls bright orange and extra pumpkin flavored but if you are too busy to cook down the puree, just skip that step and use 1 cup of the uncooked puree, saving the rest from the can for another project. Just make sure to use canned pumpkin puree and not the pie filling version which has added sugar and spices. And don’t skip the caramel cream cheese drizzle. It’s super easy to make with the microwave and it really adds something to the rolls!
