11 - 1/2 cup (110 g) unsalted butter, softened
12 - 3/4 cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
13 - 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
14 - 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

→ Peanut Butter Frosting

15 - 1/2 cup (120 g) creamy peanut butter
16 - 1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter, softened
17 - 1 1/2 cups (180 g) powdered sugar, sifted
18 - 2–3 tbsp (30–45 ml) milk
19 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
20 - Pinch of salt

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5–10 minutes.
02 - Add the pumpkin purée, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined.
03 - Stir in the flour, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes (or use a stand mixer with dough hook for 5–6 minutes) until smooth and elastic.
04 - Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
05 - Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 16 x 12-inch (40 x 30 cm) rectangle.
06 - Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice over the buttered surface.
07 - Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 12 equal rolls.
08 - Arrange the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes, until puffy.
09 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 22–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10 - While rolls cool slightly, prepare the frosting: Beat together peanut butter and butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and 2 tbsp milk. Beat until fluffy, adding more milk if needed for a smooth, spreadable consistency.
11 - Spread peanut butter frosting over warm (not hot) rolls. Serve fresh.

# Helpful Tips:

01 - For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts on top of the frosting.
02 - Substitute almond butter for a different flavor.
03 - Best enjoyed fresh, but can be reheated in the microwave for 10–15 seconds.
