Description
A gooey, pumpkin-spiked breakfast casserole that tastes like the center of a cinnamon roll. This easy bake blends the warmth of cinnamon rolls with the richness of pumpkin for a comforting fall treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- Two 8-count tubes refrigerated cinnamon roll dough, with icing
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons cream or milk
- Optional for serving: vanilla ice cream or whipped topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 9×9-inch pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Cut each tube of cinnamon roll dough into 9 pieces. Scatter the pieces in the prepared pan. Set aside the icing.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the pan.
- Warm the reserved icing slightly and drizzle it over the top.
- Place the pan on a baking sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the center is set and golden brown.
- While the casserole cools slightly, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and cream to make the frosting.
- Drizzle the frosting over the top and serve warm.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Can be assembled up to an hour or two ahead, but bake soon after.
- You can use just the reserved cinnamon roll icing if you prefer a less sweet version.
- A 9×9-inch pan is recommended for a thick and gooey casserole.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
- Freezing is not recommended as the texture may become soggy.
- For variations, swap maple syrup for some sugar or add chopped pecans or walnuts before baking.
