Pumpkin-cinnamon rolls are a cozy blend of autumn aromas and tender texture. This recipe draws inspiration from traditional American cinnamon buns but adds an unusual pumpkin twist. The sweet pumpkin scent is complemented by the slight tartness of dried cranberries and the nutty tenderness of flax seeds. Baked to a golden crust, these rolls are soaked in a velvety orange-pumpkin sauce that gives them exquisite sweetness and softness. They are perfect for cozy family breakfasts, autumn gatherings with friends, or simply to treat yourself to something warm and fragrant. The taste of this dessert is a harmony of warm spices and fruity freshness, providing a sense of coziness and comfort.
