My dad makes the best cinnamon rolls in the world. They are so good they have their own name, Parry Rolls. Everyone knows what Parry Rolls are. They are our family’s most favorite recipe. I’ve shared the recipe on our site and I hope you’ve tried them. If you have, you know they are the best:) And if you know my dad, I am sure he’s made them for you. He loves sharing the cinnamon roll love!

I love my dad’s famous recipe, but they do take awhile to make. They have to rise twice before baking. Are they worth the time? Absolutely! But sometimes it’s nice to have an easy peasy recipe in your back pocket, like my recipe for Easy Mini Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls. You can make these cinnamon rolls in under 30 minutes. You can’t beat that! And guess what? They are pretty darn tasty too!

So how do I make delicious cinnamon rolls in under 30 minutes? I start with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. I like to use the Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations Seamless Dough Sheet to make cinnamon rolls. It is one big sheet! If you can’t find the seamless dough sheets, you can use regular crescent rolls, just press them together to form one big sheet.

Because it’s fall and I am currently obsessed with pumpkin butter, I spread pumpkin butter over the dough instead of regular butter. I also added brown sugar and cinnamon!

I rolled up the dough to form one big log.

I cut the log into mini cinnamon rolls using dental floss. You can also use thread or a knife. And don’t worry, I used plain dental floss, I didn’t want to add a minty flavor. Mint and pumpkin…not a good flavor combo:)

Ingredients
  

For the pumpkin cinnamon rolls:

  • 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations refrigerated seamless dough sheet
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin butter I use Trader Joe's brand
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the cream cheese frosting:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Unroll sheet dough into one large rectangle. Spread pumpkin butter evenly over the dough. Evenly sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the pumpkin butter.
  • Starting with short side of the rectangle, roll up into a log. Using string, dental floss, or a serrated knife, cut the roll into 10 slices. Place slices, cut side down, in a greased 8 x 8 baking dish.
  • Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cinnamon rolls cool in pan for 5 minutes.
  • While the cinnamon rolls are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Whisk in the confectioner's sugar, vanilla, and milk. If the frosting is still too thick, add a little more milk and whisk until smooth.
  • Spread frosting over cinnamon rolls and serve! I always have leftover frosting, but use as much as you like:)
  • Note-if you can't find the Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations refrigerated seamless dough sheet you can use regular Pillsbury crescent rolls. Just press the dough together to form a large rectangular sheet. I use Trader Joe's pumpkin butter, but you can use any brand or make your own.

  1. These came across my Facebook timeline and they seem like the PERFECT autumn weekend breakfast. I think I’ll make 2 batches – one with the pumpkin butter and one with apple butter. I might even go crazy and throw some raisins in there. Thanks for such a simple yet delicious recipe.

  2. I can’t get used to the weird arsed way American recipes have the ingredients list right at the end so you can’t quickly check that you have all the ingredients available. The logical way would be to list ingredients *before* the method.
