Instructions
 

  • Grease a medium bowl with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix yeast with warm milk and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine flour, sugars, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add yeast mixture, pumpkin, and egg. Mix with the dough hook until smooth.
  • Add butter gradually until a smooth dough forms. Transfer dough to prepared bowl, cover, and let rest for 1 to 1 ½ hours.
  • Prepare the filling by combining butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves in a bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9”x13” baking pan. Roll dough out on a floured surface into an 18”x14” rectangle.
  • Spread filling over dough, then sprinkle with chopped pecans. Roll dough tightly into a log, then cut into 12 rolls. Place in prepared pan and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Bake for 25 minutes until golden. Let cool for 20 minutes.
  • Make icing by beating cream cheese and butter, then adding powdered sugar, salt, and maple syrup. Frost warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
