Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls

Print Recipe

Enjoy classic breakfast cinnamon rolls without the gluten. Soft, fluffy, and swirled with cinnamon and sugar, topped with creamy icing.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
  4. Form the dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Stir until a dough forms; it should be soft but not sticky.
  5. Roll out the dough: On a floured surface (using gluten-free flour), roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Add fillings: Spread melted butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the butter.
  7. Roll and cut: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into 1-inch thick rolls.
  8. Bake the rolls: Place your rolls in the greased baking dish, leaving a little space between them. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
  9. Make the icing: While the rolls bake, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth.
  10. Glaze and serve: Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the icing over the warm rolls. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

For variations, consider adding nuts, chocolate chips, or using different icing flavors.
