Gluten-free cinnamon rolls are a delightful treat that many people enjoy. What makes these cinnamon rolls special is that they are made without gluten, which is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten-free cinnamon rolls have a slightly different texture compared to traditional ones, but they are just as delicious. These rolls usually consist of a soft, sweet dough infused with cinnamon and sugar, providing a comforting aroma as they bake in the oven. Once baked, they are often topped with a luscious cream cheese icing that adds a creamy and tangy touch. Whether you have dietary restrictions or simply enjoy trying new flavors, gluten-free cinnamon rolls are a fantastic choice for a satisfying and indulgent treat. Just imagining sinking your teeth into a warm, fluffy cinnamon roll is enough to make anyone’s mouth water.

Instructions To Make Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9 inch pie dish or casserole dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together your tapioca flour, almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl combine your melted butter, sweetener, eggs, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add your wet ingredients to your dry mixture and mix until combined, your dough will be sticky.
  5. Add 2 tbs warm water to your dough and mix well. Let your dough rest for 5 minutes to firm up. While your dough rests mix together all of your filling ingredients and set aside.
  6. On a piece of parchment paper, spread about 1 tbs of tapioca flour so it covers about 8X12 inches. Take your dough and place it on your working surface, cover with parchment paper and roll your dough with a rolling pin into a 8X12 even rectangle.
  7. Spread your filling mixture evenly over your dough, leaving at least a 1/2 inch around the edges.
  8. Using the short side (the 8 inch side) carefully roll your dough rectangle into a log. Cut into nine equal pieces. Place your rolls in your greased dish and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  9. Combine your topping ingredients and whisk until smooth. Once your cinnamon rolls slightly cool, spread your topping on top and enjoy!

Important Teaching Tips

The easiest way to cut your cinnamon rolls is by using unflavored floss! Just take your freshly rolled log, slide the floss underneath and tie the floss where you want to cut! No more squished cinnamon rolls, woohoo!
