Cinnamon Rolls Made With Crescent Roll Dough

This is a shortcut that makes this an absolute no-fuss recipe. Using premade crescent roll dough instead of a from-scratch yeast dough saves you a bunch of time while still producing delicious results! We used two tubes of a vegan crescent roll dough, which you can find at Trader Joe’s or from Immaculate Baking Company. You could experiment with premade biscuit or frozen pie dough, but we really recommend getting crescent roll dough for best results!

What’s the Difference Between Cinnamon Rolls and Chelsea Buns?

Let’s break it down! A cinnamon roll is a classic pastry in Northern Europe and North America. It’s fluffy, filled with sugar and cinnamon, and glazed with icing or cream cheese frosting. Chelsea Buns originated in the UK and have a little more spice variety with currants, lemon, and dried fruits. They don’t have much frosting and instead feature a thin glaze for shine on top! We like to think this recipe has the best of both cinnamon rolls and Chelsea buns. Yum!

How to Make Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Since we’re using pre-made dough for a no-fuss dessert, your ingredient list and process is actually really short! In addition to premade crescent roll dough, you’ll be baking with ripe mashed bananas, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon, and canned pumpkin.

1. Combine the filling ingredients in a large bowl and mix them well. Unroll one tube of crescent roll dough on a clean, floured countertop or parchment paper. Roll it out slightly with a rolling pin to seal the seams.
2. Spoon half the filling mixture onto the dough and spread it evenly around, leaving a small border on all four sides.
3. Roll the dough along the long side, tucking it under and pressing as you go to ensure the filling stays inside! Use a serrated knife to slice the dough into 1-½” rolls. You should have 7 rolls from the first tube of dough! Arrange them in a greased cake pan.
4. Repeat this process with the other tube of dough and the remaining filling. Bake the rolls for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Top them with maple syrup and pecans or walnuts. Enjoy!
