Pair these easy two ingredient dough pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls with a PSL and you have a match made in heaven!
2. Ingredient. Dough. No yeast. No elbow grease. No hassle. You don’t even need a stand mixer!
Whether you try these pumpkin cinnamon rolls for breakfast on thanksgiving, Halloween, or just a regular Monday morning, they’re sure to impress!
What Do I Need For Two Ingredient Dough Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls?
All you need to whip up these rolls is plain Greek yogurt (has to be Greek!), self rising flour, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and butter.
You’ll find nonfat and full fat options in Greek yogurt- either will work.
We get nonfat because that’s what we use in our protein overnight oats, but full fat Greek yogurt tends to make the dough slightly more moist.
I use 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice, but if you want to retain more pumpkin flavor, consider using less. The more spice, the less you taste the pumpkin.
I top these with a simple cream cheese icing and they’re gone in minutes!
What Icing Is Best On Two Ingredient Dough Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls?
I like homemade cream cheese icing on these cinnamon rolls (recipe below), but that part is up to you!
Cream cheese icing can be bought at any grocery store if you don’t want to make your own.
If you make your own icing often, I highly recommend the flex edge beater attachment for your KitchenAid mixer! It’s perfect for mixing cream cheese icing since it scrapes the sides with the silicone edge.
Why I Make Big Batch Icing For My Two Ingredient Dough Cinnamon Rolls
I prefer to make my cream cheese icing in a large batch, and then divide it up into portions and freeze in Ziploc baggies until I need it.
This way, five out of six mornings I make this, I only have to worry about making the rolls. This makes for faster prep and faster clean up!
To freeze the large batch icing, I spoon it into freezer safe Ziploc bags and flatten them for fast and easy thawing. They take up hardly any space at all in the freezer this way!
To thaw, simply lay out on the counter, or in a bowl of warm water while the cinnamon rolls are cooking.
I’ll include both the big batch and single batch recipes below, but believe me, after making these Two Ingredient Dough Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls once they’ll become a staple in your breakfast rotation this fall!
“Two” Good To Be True? Two Ingredient Dough- REALLY!
Beyond these two ingredient dough pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls, this dough is SO easy and SO versatile!
Say goodbye to pizza kits and homemade dough that requires yeast and what feels like hours of kneading. This dough doesn’t need either!!
Greek yogurt. Self rising flour. Mix them together. That’s it.
While of course you’ll need a few more ingredients to round out the whole recipe, this dough makes homemade meals a breeze.
Ingredients For Two Ingredient Dough Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Makes 6-7 small rolls.
Rolls
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup self rising flour
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ to 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1-3 tbsp melted butter
- Honey (optional)
- Chopped pecans (optional)
Small Batch Cream Cheese Icing
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
Big Batch Cream Cheese Icing
- 1 block cream cheese, softened
- 6 tbsp butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions For Two Ingredient Dough Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine self rising flour and Greek yogurt using a rubber spatula until a dough is formed. If necessary, grease hands to finish mixing. The dough should be in a ball when finished.
- You can either roll the dough flat on a cleaned, then floured countertop OR a greased baking sheet. This is a sticky dough, so grease or flour hands to spread dough into a rectangle the best you can.
- In a small bowl, mix the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice until evenly combined.
- Once dough is rolled out, spread the pumpkin mixture to cover the surface. Once spread evenly, drizzle the dough with honey for more natural sweetness.
- Next, roll your dough up into a log to slice. When I flatten my dough I do it horizontally, or if the dough was a piece of paper, it’d be “landscape” orientation.
- Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the log into 6 pieces. Place the freshly cut rolls onto a greased baking sheet, not touching. The rolls from the 2 ends of the dough won’t be the prettiest, that’s okay!
- Melt 1-2 tbsp butter and brush onto rolls using a pastry brush or spoon.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking the texture in the middle of the rolls to determine if they’re done. These don’t brown exactly like canned cinnamon rolls, so be careful to not overcook them.
- While the rolls are cooking, prepare your icing. If you’re using the large batch recipe, mix ingredients with handheld or stand mixer and then divide into six servings. Spoon the remaining five servings into freezer safe Ziploc bags to be used next time to make these. If using the small batch recipe, combine ingredients with handheld or stand mixer and spread onto rolls once out of the oven. If you have a serving in a freezer safe bag already, place on the counter to thaw while the rolls are cooking, and cut a small piece out of the corner of the bag to pipe the icing onto the rolls.
- Remove from oven and ice while hot. Top with chopped pecans if desired!
