Description
Indulge in this ultimate fall breakfast casserole, which artfully combines the warm, aromatic essence of spiced pumpkin custard with the soft, gooey goodness of refrigerated cinnamon rolls. This bread-pudding-style treat is perfect for large holiday gatherings or a cozy weekend morning. By cutting the dough into bite-sized pieces, every section absorbs the rich pumpkin mixture, resulting in a moist, decadent, and flavor-packed dish that captures the comfort of autumn in every single scoop.
Ingredients
2 tubes (8-ct) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
3/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375F.
Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
Remove the icing containers from the cinnamon roll packages and set aside.
Cut each cinnamon roll into 3 strips, then slice each strip into 3 squares, creating 9 pieces per roll.
Scatter the dough pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
Pour the pumpkin custard mixture evenly over the dough pieces in the pan.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the rolls are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and drizzle the reserved icing over the top immediately while the bake is still warm.
Notes
Ensure you use pure pumpkin puree, not pre-seasoned pumpkin pie filling. For a crunchy topping, sprinkle a handful of chopped pecans over the dish before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave.
