Wake up to Pumpkin Butter-Pecan Rolls with Pumpkin Spice Glaze, a quick and easy fall breakfast treat!

These rolls are the perfect fall breakfast treat. Prepare to be wowed at how easy and delicious these sweet rolls are!


To make these rolls I used a jar of Slow Cooker Maple Pumpkin Butter.

It’s ready in a couple of hours after simmering in your slow cooker. It makes a delicious spread for your morning toast, stirred into oatmeal, yogurt, pancake or waffle batter. Your house will smell wonderful while it’s simmering away too!


Feel free to use a store brand of pumpkin butter for the convenience. Apple butter would be wonderful too if you have some in the fridge.

Here are the quick and easy steps to make these rolls, the most time-consuming part is thawing your puff pastry.


I used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry. Follow the directions on the box for thawing, overnight in the fridge or on the counter at room temperature for 30 – 40 minutes until you can unfold it.

Unfold one pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface with the folds going left to right. Use a rolling pin to lightly press out creases from folds. Add a thin layer of pumpkin butter, spreading with offset spatula, leaving a 1-inch border on the puff pastry. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.


Starting with the end nearest you, roll puff pastry up around the filling,

finishing the roll with the seam-side down. Trim the ends of the roll about ½ inch and discard. Slice the roll in 6 equal pieces.



Place each piece spiral side up, filling 6 wells of a 12-cup standard muffin pan. Repeat with the second piece of puff pastry.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until rolls are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.

To make these rolls doubly delicious, top them with Pumpkin Spice Glaze:


  • 2 cups powdered sugar

3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg)

  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 – 4 tablespoons milk or half-and-half


Combine all ingredients in bowl.

Add milk, mixing until smooth and reaching desired consistency.


Allow to cool for about 15 minutes in pan before drizzling on pumpkin spice glaze. Serve immediately.
