How to make pumpkin-shaped cinnamon rolls

Ingredients

‍

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350° F.
  2. After opening the package of cinnamon rolls and setting them out, wrap baker’s twine around each one 4 times to create approximately 8 “sections” (this will give the cinnamon rolls that classic pumpkin shape). You’ll want to tie them snug enough to stay in place, but not too tight as the dough will rise during baking. Make sure to double-knot them so the string doesn’t come undone.
  3. Place tied cinnamon rolls onto a lightly greased baking sheet or pan, and bake for 23–27 minutes (or until golden brown).
  4. Remove from the oven and place the cinnamon rolls onto a cooling rack to cool for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the baker’s twine, and drizzle icing over the tops of your rolls.
  6. Push a cinnamon stick into the center of your cinnamon rolls to create the “stem” of your pumpkin.
  7. Serve and enjoy!
