Cinnamon Pumpkin Muffins

Delicious muffins combining the warm flavors of cinnamon and pumpkin, topped with a sweet cream cheese frosting, perfect for autumn breakfasts or snacks.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 16 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans cinnamon rolls (Pillsbury brand recommended)
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree or pumpkin butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your muffin pans with 16 muffin liners.
  2. Open the tubes of cinnamon rolls and carefully unroll each roll, patting each flat to about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Spread each unrolled cinnamon roll with either pumpkin puree or pumpkin butter, then roll them back up and place them into the muffin liners.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
  5. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended.
  7. Once the muffins are cool, generously spread the frosting over each muffin.

Notes

Allow muffins to cool slightly before frosting for the best texture. You can substitute Greek yogurt for a lighter frosting.
