Pumpkin Spice Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

/

My homemade cinnamon rolls are a staple for the Holidays as well as anytime we host company for breakfast! They are so yummy and soft, but the best part is I get to lick the whole bowl of frosting! I love the recipe so much that I have been working on making it into a Fall recipe for all my pumpkin lovers. If you’re not as obsessed with pumpkin as much as I am I made sure to make the recipe a pumpkin spice flavor to have the pumpkin taste be a little more subtle. My hubby (aka food tester) isn’t the biggest pumpkin fan in the world, but he absolutely loved them! I myself am a pumpkin lover..so naturally, I loved them as well. So, its safe to say this is simply a great Fall treat the whole group will love!! Lets get baking!!
