Are you ready to elevate your fall breakfast game? This Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Bake is the ultimate treat for cozy mornings and festive brunches. Combining the classic gooey goodness of cinnamon rolls with the rich, comforting flavors of pumpkin, it’s a delightful twist that’s sure to impress.
Ingredients:
For the Bake:
2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
For the Glaze:
Reserved icing from cinnamon rolls
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons milk
Directions:
Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to ensure your bake doesn’t stick.
Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Open the cans of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and set aside the icing. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and arrange them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Bake: Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the cut cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish. Gently press down to ensure the mixture coats all the rolls.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the reserved icing from the cinnamon rolls with powdered sugar and enough milk to achieve your desired glaze consistency.
Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the warm pumpkin cinnamon roll bake and serve immediately for a deliciously sweet and spiced breakfast or brunch.
Serving Tips:
Serve Warm: For the best flavor and texture, serve the Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Bake warm. The gooey cinnamon rolls and pumpkin mixture are at their most delicious right out of the oven.
Pair with Coffee or Tea: This bake pairs wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or tea, making it a perfect addition to a fall brunch or breakfast spread.
Garnish Options: Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of additional cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store leftover Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Bake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to 4 days.
Freezing: If you want to store it for a longer period, you can freeze it. Wrap the cooled bake tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing it in a freezer-safe container or bag. It can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Reheating: To reheat from the refrigerator, warm individual portions in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or reheat the entire bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, until warmed through. For frozen bake, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Serving Size Suggestions:
Portion Control: Cut into 12 equal servings for a balanced approach, but feel free to adjust portion sizes based on your preference or serving needs.
