    You are going to want to eat these healthy low calorie cinnamon rolls all season long and they are filled with pumpkin pie filling and topped with cream cheese frosting. No yeast is needed to make these cinnamon rolls either. 

    Pumpkin Pie Cinnamon Rolls

    Cinnamon Roll Dough No Yeast 

    To make cinnamon rolls with no yeast, I used the famous 2 ingredient dough recipe which is equal parts greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Some people still don't even know that recipe exists yet and they ask me about it on Instagram. Crazy huh? Please jump on the 2 ingredient dough bandwagon if you haven't!

    Use some dental floss to evenly cut the cinnamon rolls into even shapes. If you care about presentation or don't, you do not need to do that. 

    It really helps to have a lightly floured surface before trying to shape or roll the dough out. 

    Recipe Ingredients

    • 1 cup of NF greek yogurt
    • 1 cup of self rising flour
    • ½ cup pumpkin puree(not pie filling)
    • 1 tablespoon 1% milk
    • 2 tablespoons of packed light brown sugar or dark brown sugar 
    • 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
    • 1 egg
    • Nonstick cooking spray
    • For the Frosting
    • 4- oz cream cheese , softened
    • ½ cups powdered sugar
    • 2 tablespoons of milk
    • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

    How to Make Cinnamon Rolls

    Preheat oven to 375.

    Lightly grease 1 8 in cake pan with non-stick spray; set aside. Mix the flour and greek yogurt together in a bowl until well combined.

    Pour the dough onto a floured work surface.

    In a bowl combine the pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.

    Roll the dough out into a rectangle.

    Spread the pumpkin pie mix evenly, all over the dough.

    Roll the sides up with your fingers and cut the dough into 6 equal pieces.

    Beat an egg in a small bowl and brush that over the top of the cinnamon rolls.

    Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.

    Serving Size: 1 cinnamon roll.

    In the meantime prepare the frosting.

    Place cream cheese in your mixer's bowl and cream for 1 minute.

    Gradually add in powdered sugar and the one at a time, and continue to beat until well combined

    Add in cinnamon.

    Remove pans from oven and immediately brush each roll with frosting.

    Frequently Asked Questions and Tips

    Can I use a stand mixer to make the dough? Since this dough is made with only 2 ingredients it's easier to make it in a large mixing bowl. 

    What can I serve these cinnamon rolls with?

    Make some freshly brewed coffee and serve with some scrambled eggs or fresh fruit on the side. 

    How to store leftovers: Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic,  whatever!  Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container before putting it in the freezer or fridge. 

    This can be prepped the day ahead.

      Why are these 1 point higher on green than blue? Purple, maybe, but, blue?

      So yum!! I found that I could easily make this recipe have more than 6 rolls. They ended up being way too big and I had to cook them longer because of how big they were. I ate them all in a couple days solo lol. Love this recipe, I'm making again for sure.

      Just made these and they were delicious! I added a bit of no calorie sweetener to the dough and also chilled it a bit before rolling out which made it easier. Instead of regular sugar for the icing, I used zero calorie monk fruit powdered sugar. Will definitely make these again.
