- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

- Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each roll.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes
- For best results, use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
