If you don’t have the time or energy to make pumpkin cinnamon rolls from scratch, you can also find the ready-to-bake kind at Trader Joe’s.

These seasonal favorites returned this autumn (though they may be in limited supply now that we’re turning the corner toward winter), and while the recipe on the can calls for baking them in the oven, with a few modifications you can make them on the stovetop with TJ’s recipe for Skillet Baked Pumpkin Rolls.

All you need is a little bit of coconut oil for the skillet, two cans of TJ’s Pumpkin Rolls, butter, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and Trader Joe’s candied pecans (or whatever brand you prefer). Then, open the pumpkin rolls and roll them in a combo of sugar and pumpkin pie spice, after you which you carefully arrange them in an oven-safe skillet.

Top off the rolls with butter and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, then brush the icing and chopped candied pecans on top. Your warm, gooey weekend breakfast is served!
