Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
Glazed fall-inspired cinnamon rolls ready in an hour!
Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 vegan puff pastry sheet, thawed but still cold
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
- 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 2 ½ tablespoons Califia Farms Pumpkin Spice Oat Barista Blend
instructions:
- Heat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a 9x16’’ baking dish
- To a small bowl, add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and mix together until smooth. Set aside
- Unwrap one of the puff pastry sheets and place on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to gently roll out to a 10x12’’ rectangle. Arrange the sheet with the widest side closest to you, then brush the puff pastry with half of the melted butter, leaving a ½ inch border with no butter on the side furthest from you
- Spread half of the pumpkin filling over the butter, again leaving a ½ border at the edge
- Beginning with the side closest to you, carefully roll the dough upwards lengthwise. Press the edge into the roll slightly to seal, then using a serrated knife, cut into 6 equal pieces and place into the prepared baking dish
- Repeat this process for the second sheet of puff pastry. Bake for 25-30 min, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked though. Remove from the oven to cool slightly
- For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of the Pumpkin Spice Oat Barista Blend together until a thick, yet pourable glaze forms. Add remaining ½ tablespoon if needed
- Pour the glaze over the cinnamon rolls and enjoy while warm!
