Pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls for two! These pumpkin cinnamon rolls are quickly made in a muffin pan without yeast!
Have you seen my pumpkin ebook for 25 pumpkin recipe that arenโt pie and 1 that is? I think you would love it.
Iโm fully ready for Fall, and Iโm armed with this recipe for pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls made in a muffin pan!
The recipe makes just 4 cinnamon rolls, and theyโre made entirely without yeast! Theyโre based on my small batch cinnamon rolls that are just plain cinnamon. The addition of pumpkin makes them even better!
I canโt be the only one who types โpumpkingโ every single time, can I? I think itโs fitting, thoughโpumpkin is the king of fall.
So, when a request for a pumpkin spin-off of my no-yeast cinnamon rolls came in, I skipped in the kitchen and got to work. I hardly need an excuse to play with that recipe; itโs so easy and fun to work with.
Pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls recipe overview:
I can pull this dough together 8 minutes (I timed it), but thatโs only because Iโm not one of those people that gather the ingredients before hand. I should be one of those people, but Iโm just not.
It takes a tiny bit of skill to them gently roll the dough out into the rectangle, but then a quick drizzle of butter, a sprinkle of the spice mixture, and roll, roll, roll.
Slice into 4 rolls, pop into muffin tins, and bake! It couldnโt be easier to stuff a cinnamon roll in your face.
These pumpkin cinnamon rolls are packed with pumpkin, but they also taste like pumpkin pie, because the cinnamon-sugar filling mixture also has a big dose of ground cloves and ginger. It really makes it taste like pie. And I really like it.
I canโt remember which readers requested these rolls, but here ya go! I hope you love them as much as we do!
Iโve heard that if you drink a cup a pumpkin spice latte while eating pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls, youโll have good luck all Fall long!
The muffin pan I use is vintage, and I love it because it only has 6 cups! But, if youโre lacking your grandmotherโs vintage small muffin pan like me, hereโs a great substitute!
Quick Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
Quick, no yeast cinnamon rolls made with pumpkin.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided use
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided use
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
For the glaze
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375, and spray 4 cups in a muffin pan with cooking spray (or use extra melted butter).
- Combine the flour, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- In a small measuring cup, combine the milk, pumpkin, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and stir until a soft dough forms.
- Heavily flour a work surface, and pat the dough out into a rectangle about 6" long. Use plenty of flour as you go.
- Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter on top of the dough.
- Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Press this mixture lightly into the butter on top of the dough. Carefully, roll the dough up starting with the long side. Roll away from you. When you get to the end of the dough, pinch the entire seam shut.
- Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces, drop into the greased muffin cups, and bake for 14-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together the powdered sugar and cream. Add enough cream to achieve a pourable consistency.
- When the cinnamon rolls come out of the oven, drizzle with frosting and serve.

Do you think you could refridgerate them overnight in the pan and pop them in the oven in the morning?
These look wonderful! Do you think they would freeze well, either pre or post bake? Thanks so much!
I havenโt tried it Meg. Something tells me no. Maybe freeze before baking?
Ok, thanks. Iโll let you know if I try it pre-bake!
Is your muffin pan the larger size? Instead of regular sized?
Itโs regular sized. Sorry for the confusion!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. My human made these this morning and they are perfect for a small family. Light, fluffy, delicious. We increased the cinnamon to 1 Tbsp and added small amounts of cloves, nutmeg and allspice in place of ginger. 1/8 tsp each. Absolutely amazing. Iโll be posting a picture of them balanced on my head tomorrow :) @jumpforjoysf on instagram.
My husband and I really enjoyed these for dinner tonight. Earlier today I had baked up some of the pumpkins we grew this year, so I used fresh pumpkin in the recipe. I used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour. This recipe is a keeper.
Thanks so much for letting me know, Kerri! Iโm glad you enjoyed them :)
Hi is there a recipe for cinnamon rolls using baking powder instead of yeast?
There is! Itโs called Quick Cinnamon Rolls.
Can the rolls be placed in a small rectangular baking dish? That wonโt alter the way they cook or anything like that?
Yes, go ahead :)
Found this recipe while searching for pumpkin cinnamon rolls! We have a big family, so I adjusted the recipe to make 24 rolls! It worked well to just multiply the original by 6. ๐ Delicious results! Thanks so much!
Oh Iโm so glad to know it can be increased! Thank you :)
Made these exactly as the directions states, but without the glaze, and they are delicious! Kind of biscuit-y, rather than what you would get with a typical yeast dough, but super tasty!
I completely ran myself out of milk or any sort of milk related product by the time I was to make icing, so I subbed 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and half tablespoon of hot water. Tuned out delicious!
