I am not a breakfast person.

I know this may seem weird, seeing as how I have made more breakfast foods on this here blog than most of the other types of food; second only to dessert.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Caramel Frosting

You see, the secret is to disguise dessert as breakfast. Like making
breakfast cookies, breakfast cakes, and oh, of course! Breakfast rolls.

And when you can mix pumpkin AND some sweet breakfast, well that sounds like a winning combination right there.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Caramel Frosting

Seeing as how this is only my second attempt at making cinnamon rolls (where my first attempt wasn’t actually even cinnamon rolls, but raspberry rolls) they turned out a little flat. But this will not stop me. I will work at making cinnamon rolls until I’m so good, I will be able to make them in my sleep.
