Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup melted plant-based butter
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Filling

  • 3 tablespoons melted plant-based butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Optional Variations

  • Chopped pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup (natural) for maple pecan filling
  • Crumbled smoked turkey bacon for a smoky savory twist
  • Vegan cream cheese frosting: dairy-free cream cheese mixed with powdered sugar (natural) and vanilla (natural)
  • Melted dairy-free dark chocolate with coconut oil for chocolate drizzle
  • Orange zest mixed into dough and filling for orange spice upgrade

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and natural gelling agent. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, plant-based milk, melted plant-based butter, apple cider vinegar (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to maintain fluffiness.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 12 by 8 inches. Keep the thickness even to ensure uniform baking. The pumpkin helps keep the dough moist and pliable, making rolling easier.
  3. Add the Filling: Spread melted plant-based butter evenly over the rolled dough. Sprinkle the mixture of brown sugar and ground cinnamon generously over the surface. Add a touch of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to deepen the flavor without overpowering sweetness.
  4. Shape and Slice Rolls: Starting from the longer side, gently roll the dough into a tight log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into equal slices about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Place each roll cut side up in a greased baking pan, leaving room for expansion.
  5. Bake and Serve: Bake the rolls at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before adding your favorite frosting or glaze. Serve warm to enjoy full softness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh ground spices like cinnamon and nutmeg for the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the dough; stir just until combined for tender, soft rolls.
  • Ensure pumpkin puree and plant-based milk are at room temperature for optimal dough texture.
  • Roll the dough tightly but gently to avoid air pockets and preserve shape.
  • Check oven temperature to maintain consistent heat at 375°F for even baking.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days to keep softness.
  • Freeze unbaked rolls on a tray, then wrap tightly; bake directly from frozen with extra baking time.
  • Reheat rolls gently in a low oven or microwave with a damp paper towel to regain softness.
