Ingredients

• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup erythritol sweetener
• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Warm the almond milk to about 110°F (43°C) and pour it into a bowl. Add the active dry yeast and erythritol. Stir and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, eggs, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the frothy yeast mixture and the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic. It should be smooth and slightly tacky to touch.

Step 6

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough to deflate it and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.

Step 8

Cover the rolls with a clean cloth and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes until they have almost doubled in size.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature, perfect with a spread of butter or fresh preserves.
