Instructions

Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, mix warm almond milk and brown sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it rest 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Make the Dough:
Combine pumpkin puree, coconut oil, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture. Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
Prepare the Filling:
Mix brown sugar, pumpkin puree, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pecans in a bowl.
Shape the Rolls:
Roll dough into a rectangle (12×16 inches). Spread filling evenly. Roll into a log and slice into 12 rolls. Arrange in a greased baking dish.
Bake:
Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.
Frost & Serve:
Mix frosting ingredients until creamy. Spread on warm rolls and enjoy!

Notes

You can use any plant-based milk (soy, oat, or cashew work great).
Substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
These rolls freeze beautifully just reheat before serving.
For an extra touch, sprinkle sea salt over the frosting for a salted-caramel vibe.
