Irresistible Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls inspired by classic Cinnabon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter (or vegan butter)
  • 3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk (about 110°F), 1 tablespoon sugar, and instant yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add eggs and melted butter to the yeast mixture and whisk to combine. Gradually add gluten-free flour, baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Mix until a soft, sticky dough forms (3–4 minutes if using a stand mixer).
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1–1 1/2 hours, until nearly doubled in size.
  4. In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon into a smooth paste. Set aside.
  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface (use gluten free flour). Gently roll into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
  6. Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the dough, reaching close to the edges.
  7. Starting from a long edge, roll the dough into a tight log. Slice into 8–10 equal rolls using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss.
  8. Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each. Cover and let rise 30–45 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through in the center.
  10. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla into a smooth glaze. Drizzle over warm rolls and serve immediately.

Notes

  • These rolls are perfect for gluten free breakfasts.
  • Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for the best taste.
