Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Muffins are a perfect marriage of cozy autumn flavor and the irresistible sweetness of a cinnamon roll. These soft, fluffy muffins are infused with warm pumpkin spice and swirled with buttery cinnamon sugar, then finished with a silky glaze that melts beautifully over the top. Each bite is like a comforting taste of fall, wrapped in the familiar indulgence of a freshly baked cinnamon roll.
These muffins strike the ideal balance between sweet and spiced. The pumpkin purée keeps them moist and tender, while the cinnamon swirl running through the center adds texture and depth. Topped with a simple vanilla glaze, they make a delightful breakfast treat, afternoon snack, or dessert to share.
What’s especially lovely about this recipe is how quickly it comes together. No yeast, no rolling—just mix, layer, bake, and drizzle. It’s everything you love about cinnamon rolls without the time commitment, with the added richness of pumpkin and fall spices. The scent that fills your kitchen as they bake is reason enough to try them.
Serve them warm with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk, and watch them disappear in minutes. Whether you’re baking for a fall gathering, a holiday breakfast, or just a weekend indulgence, these muffins are a guaranteed hit.
