Pumpkin Cinnamon Streusel Buns

Alright. I know I just posted one of my favorite fall time recipes, but I couldn't help one more! One of the greatest things about fall are all the baked goods that come, and since my favorite flavor is pumpkin, these are a treat. I think you can put pumpkin in about any dessert and it is perfect! I know, some people are pro pumpkin, some con. But I thought I'd share my recipe anyway since I have found many a yummy dessert in the blogging world. Also, thank you neighbors for supplementing me with several ingredients that I have been missing throughout the years (today is was Nutmeg). I am sure on Sunday afternoon when you see me or Brad approaching, measuring cup in hand, you know what's coming. Pumpkin Cinnamon Streusel Buns
