  • Total Time: 48 minute

Ingredients

– 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (ensure it has xantham gum)
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon instant yeast
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ cup whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
– ¼ cup water
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted; or dairy-free substitute)
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
– 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
– ½ cup powdered sugar (for icing)
– 1 tablespoon milk (for icing)

Instructions

Creating The Softest Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
2. Heat the Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk and water until lukewarm. Remove from heat and stir in melted butter.
3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the warm liquid into the dry mixture. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough forms a soft ball.
4. Knead the Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough lightly just until it comes together (about 1-2 minutes).
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a towel. Let it rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix ground cinnamon and brown sugar together.
7. Roll Out the Dough: After the first rise, roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about ½-inch thick.
8. Add Filling: Spread the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small edge around.
9. Roll the Dough: Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape.
10. Slice and Place in Pan: Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
11. Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
12. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
13. Bake: Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
14. Prepare the Icing: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
15. Finish with Icing: Once the rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle your icing over the top.
