That gooey center in cinnamon rolls is what it’s all about. But pair it with a delicious pumpkin and egg topping? You’ve got yourself the easiest breakfast casserole that tastes Ahhhmazing.

This pumpkin pie cinnamon roll casserole has a mild pumpkin flavor, which makes it great for pumpkin lovers and those who aren’t huge fans too!

You’ll enjoy that this pumpkin casserole is fast thanks to the store bought cinnamon rolls and frosting, it’s a snap to put together.

Pumpkin cinnamon roll casserole also makes for an easy overnight breakfast casserole. 

I’m not a morning person so any breakfast casseroles I can make in advance are winners in my book.

Also this really has that fall flavor. All that pumpkin-and cinnamon-y goodness is sooo worth making.

Plus you don’t need a stand mixer, rolling pin, floured surface, or any other special equipment.

This is a family favorite, sure to grace our kitchen table every fall. I hope you enjoy it just as much as we do.

What Ingredients are in Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Casserole?

All you need are 5 simple ingredients for a delicious and hearty breakfast!

  • Cinnamon Rolls: Quarter the regular cinnamon rolls with a sharp knife and your cutting board.
  • Eggs: This creates a delicious egg wash on top of your yummy casserole.
  • Whipping Cream: Creamy deliciousness mixed right into your pumpkin topping? Yes please!
  • Pumpkin Puree: Notice this is not pumpkin pie mix or pumpkin pie filling which come pre seasoned.
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice: Buy this at the grocery store or mix up your own at home.

Pro Tips:

  • Buy the cans of cinnamon rolls in the refrigerated section at the grocery store. They come with frosting.
  • In the fall you can often find pumpkin flavored cinnamon rolls. If you LOVE pumpkin, try making this casserole with those.
  • If you accidentally bought pumpkin filling, try making this without the extra pumpkin pie spice.
  • Try making this with homemade cinnamon rolls if you’ve got the extra time. So yummy!

Can You Make Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Casserole The Night Before?

Yes! There is nothing better than an overnight casserole am I right?

I can wake up in the morning, pop these in the oven, and enjoy them with a delicious mug of hot cocoa while watching the falling leaves.

That’s the best part of fall right?

I’ve got you covered all year round with these overnight breakfast casseroles. If you’ve tried this Texas Toast Breakfast Casserole, you’ll know what I’m talking about.

But there’s just something special about the pumpkin version of foods.  Especially because my kids will all need to get up and out the door with a full belly!

Simply make the pumpkin cinnamon roll bake, following all the directions up until baking.

Cover tightly with aluminum foil and let it sit overnight in the fridge until you’re ready to bake the next day.

Be sure to bake within 24 hours or it’ll start to go bad in the fridge.

Is Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Casserole Healthy?

I wouldn’t say it’s the healthiest breakfast on the planet. I think most pumpkin recipes are more dessert than health food.

But of course it does have pumpkin (a fruit) and eggs (protein). So it’s probably not the worst breakfast on the planet either.

At least, I’m going to eat this perfect fall breakfast and not feel guilty about it. You do you and enjoy this pumpkin season!

Can You Freeze Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Casserole?

Yes you can easily freeze pumpkin cinnamon roll casserole.

First, wait until the breakfast dish has completely cooled.

Then cut into pieces and wrap each piece individually with plastic wrap.

This will help keep it fresher longer and also let you pull out as many as you want at a time.

Then place the wrapped pieces into a freezer bag and voila!

You can also place each piece into an airtight container.

Be sure to write the name and date on the bag so you use them before they go bad.

Frozen pumpkin cinnamon roll casserole can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Can Dogs Have Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Casserole?

Did your dog sneak into your pumpkin cinnamon roll casserole? While they may be okay, you’ll want to watch for any symptoms.

Many ingredients that may be hidden inside a cinnamon roll container or the pumpkin pie spice can be harmful for dogs.

Dogs shouldn’t be eating sugar, brown sugar, butter, xylitol, or nutmeg.

Nutmeg in particular can be extremely toxic to dogs and is almost always included in pumpkin spice.

So be sure not to intentionally feed this dish to your dogs and watch them for any signs if they do get into it.
