INGREDIENTS

Pumpkin Rolls:
1½ cups Navitas Organics Chickpea Flour
½ cup oat flour
4½ tsp. yeast
½ cup vegan butter, softened
¼ cup pumpkin puree
2 cups plant-based milk, divided
⅓ cup granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
Cinnamon Filling:
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup dark brown sugar
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
¼ cup unsalted vegan butter, softened
⅓ cup pumpkin puree (added on top of cinnamon filling)
Orange Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp. plant-based milk
1 drop natural orange food coloring

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400˚F.
Make the dough:
Combine yeast with 1 cup milk and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
In a large bowl, combine flours, sugar, salt, pumpkin puree and butter. While mixing, slowly add in yeast/milk mixture. Add flour until dough starts forming.
Transfer to a floured surface and knead dough for about 3 minutes. Shape into a ball and place back in the bowl. Cover and place in a warm area for 1 hour.
Make the cinnamon filling:
Combine all filling ingredients in a small mixing bowl and set aside.

Assemble the rolls:
When the dough has risen, roll out into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread cinnamon filling evenly to the edges and add a layer of pumpkin puree on top.
Starting at the bottom of the rectangle, roll dough evenly into a tight roll. With your fingers, press together the seam. Seam side down, cut dough using a serrated knife into mini pieces.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden brown.
Make the orange glaze:
While rolls are baking, prepare glaze by whisking together all glaze ingredients for about 1 minute until smooth.
Once rolls are ready, drizzle with glaze and enjoy warm!
