Method
 

How to Make No Yeast Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare an 11x9 inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend the flour and chilled butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add in the granulated sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda. Stir in the milk until a loose dough forms and knead lightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, light brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and pumpkin puree until well combined.
  4. Roll out half the dough to about ¼ inch thickness, spread half the filling evenly, roll it up tightly, cut into six pieces, and place in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  7. For the optional pecan topping, combine sugars, corn syrup, and butter in a small saucepan. Thicken with cornstarch and cold water, then add pecans.
  8. Once baked and slightly cooled, drizzle cream cheese glaze over the rolls and top with the pecan mixture.
