Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls, anyone?

Of course you want Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls! I think that cinnamon breakfast rolls are a staple from September through January, but of course, you can obviously love them year-round. So, I remember going to Cinnabon back in the day, and not even getting cinnamon rolls. I think there was a drink I loved. Off to Google it.. Oh, yes. MochaLatta Chill. It’s still there! That reminds me of another favorite. Off to Google it.. Oh, yes. It was Au Bon Pain, and I can’t for the life of me remember the drink I loved. I can’t really do caffeine. That didn’t stop me as a teen or young adult, but somehow when pregnant or handling three (really, four) kids, I try to abstain. That said, let’s not get off topic because we’re talking about pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls right now.

Stop distracting me! Anyway, this recipe is a must, right?
