  • 1 tsp Pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 2-3 TBSP Fat free Fairlife milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • While the oven is heating, carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected, so you have one large bottom layer and one large top layer.
  • Lightly spray a baking sheet or casserole dish with cooking spray, line with parchment paper, or use both. Place the bottom half of the Hawaiian rolls into the prepared pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, pure pumpkin, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
    For the regular version, make sure the butter is softened to room temperature.
    For the lightened-up version, the light butter is already soft and can be used as-is.
  • Mix until everything is very well combined and you have a smooth, spreadable filling.
  • Spread about 80% of the pumpkin cinnamon filling evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
  • Place the top half of the rolls back on, then spread the remaining filling over the tops.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the rolls are warm, soft, and lightly golden.
  • While the Rolls Bake, Make the Frosting

  • For the regular Pumpkin Spice Hawaiian Roll Buns

    In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, pure pumpkin, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt if desired.
  • Mix until smooth and creamy with a frosting-like consistency.

  • For the Macro Friendly Pumpkin Spice Hawaiian Roll Buns

    In a small bowl, combine the Pumpkin Spice Latte protein powder, pure pumpkin, vanilla extract, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt if desired.
  • Slowly add the Fairlife milk, a little at a time, mixing as you go until you reach your desired frosting or glaze consistenc
  • Finish the Rolls
  • Once the rolls are finished baking, remove them from the oven.
  • For the Regular Pumpkin Spice Hawaiian Roll Buns, spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls.
  • For the Macro-Friendly Pumpkin Spice Hawaiian Roll Buns, drizzle or spread the pumpkin spice protein frosting over the warm rolls.
  • Serve warm and enjoy! 🎃
