“Indulge in the ultimate fall comfort food with Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Casserole. Combining gooey cinnamon rolls with pumpkin and warm spices, this easy-to-make casserole is topped with a sweet glaze for a cozy breakfast, brunch, or dessert.”
For the Casserole:
2 (8-count) tubes refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing)
3 large eggs
3/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
For the Frosting:
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons cream or milk
Optional for Serving:
Vanilla ice cream or whipped topping
Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 9×9-inch pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Dough: Cut the cinnamon rolls into 3 even strips, then cut each strip into 3 pieces (9 pieces total per roll). Scatter evenly in the prepared pan and set aside the icing packets.
Make the Pumpkin Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
Assemble the Casserole: Pour the pumpkin mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces. Drizzle the icing over the top. Microwave the icing for 10 seconds if it’s cold to make it easier to drizzle.
Bake the Casserole: Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for about 40 minutes, until the top is set and lightly golden brown. Let it cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Make the Frosting: Whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and cream or milk until smooth.
Finish and Serve: Drizzle the frosting over the casserole and serve immediately with optional ice cream or whipped topping.
Add Nuts: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
Use Different Spices: Swap pumpkin pie spice for allspice or nutmeg if preferred.
Make it Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free milk and cream for the frosting.
Try Cream Cheese Frosting: Substitute cream cheese frosting for a tangy contrast.
