I love homemade Cinnamon Rolls. The smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls is probably my favorite smell! Somehow my cravings for cinnamon rolls increase in the colder months. That’s why now I’m sharing my favorite recipe for these Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls. I’m absolutely obsessed with them at the moment. Watch out! You will be too! After the first bite 😉

These Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls are tender on the inside and flaky on the outside. Cinnamon-spiked, perfectly sweet and so delicious!

Can you make them ahead of time?

Yes, if you wanna have freshly baked cinnamon rolls for breakfast, you can prepare them completely the night before. And instead of baking them, place them in the fridge overnight, the next morning take them out and put them in the oven. By the time the oven heats up the rolls will have time to rise. Another method is to freeze them when they are already baked and reheat when you want to have them.

To freeze them: Place them in an airtight container or freezer-friendly bags.

To reheat them: Bake on 180C degrees for 10min.

what flour to use to make them?

I like to use my universal homemade gluten-free flour blend. Which is a mix of the following flours :

1. White Rice Flour

2. Brown Rice Flour

3. Sweet Rice Flour (Glutinous Rice aka Sticky Rice)

4. Tapioca Flour (tapioca starch is the same as tapioca flour)

5. Xanthan Gum

If you can’t make that one, you can try with any gluten-free flour mix (just make sure it contains xanthan gum because that helps in binding the dough). The final result using different flour mix might vary slightly, depending on what flours your mix contains.

* fodmap tip:

*To make sure that your flour mix is fodmap friendly I recommend that you make your own gluten-free flour mix, I always make this one. Or always read the ingredients of the store-bought gluten-free flour mixes. Make sure your mix doesn’t contain soy flour, chickpea/besan/gram/garbanzo bean flour, lentil flour, coconut flour, amaranth flour, or lupin flour.

*As a general rule always read the labels of the ingredients that you use as there can be sneaky FODMAP’s in any product. To educate yourself of which foods are high in FODMAP’s I’d strongly recommend downloading Monash Unversity FODMAP Diet App

Servings 12 rolls

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 8 g Instant Yeast
  • 3 Tbsp Sugar
  • 500 g gluten-free flour (4 cups)
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 200ml lactose-free milk (full-fat) (lukewarm)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 whisked egg (for brushing)

Filling

  • 113 g butter, at room temperature (1/2 cup)
  • 3 Tbsp cinnamon
  • 100 g light brown sugar

Icing

  • 120 g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp lactose-free milk

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the dough. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar over the yeast and 1/3 cup of the milk. Stir to dissolve.
  • In a large bowl combine flour, rest of the sugar, salt, and 1/2tsp cinnamon. Add melted butter, dissolved yeast, eggs and the rest of the milk.
  • Stir to combine and knead until the dough is soft, a bit sticky but quite elastic and pulls away from the side of the bowl. If it feels too soft, you can add extra flour and if it is not soft enough add a bit milk.
  • Cover the dough with a plastic wrap, place it in a warm place and let it rise for about 40min or until double in size.
  • In a small bowl combine butter with cinnamon and sugar.
  • On an oiled or floured surface roll the dough in a 12×18 inch (30x45cm) rectangle. Spread butter cinnamon mixture over the top of the rectangle. Roll the dough, seal the seam with water and cut into 12 equal size rolls. Place on a parchment paper-lined tray with 1/2 -1 inch (2 cm) distance between them to allow them to rise.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise in a warm place for about one hour, until doubled in size. (if the tray is not too tall you might need to grease the plastic wrap so it doesn't stick).
  • Preheat oven to 350F (180 C).
  • Bake the rolls for about 15-20 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Prepare the glaze. Mix powdered sugar with vanilla and milk and before serving drizzle over the rolls.
  • Enjoy!

    Can you make these ahead of time and let the rolled rolls rise overnight in the fridge or would they over-proof? I’d love to have them prepped and be able to pop in the oven on Christmas morning to bake.

      Hi Kath, Yes you can do that. I’ve done that once, they didn’t over-proof. However, I didn’t like them as much, because, when leaving the dough rise overnight it gets a stronger more yeasty flavor (which I don’t like). But if you don’t mind this, then yes you can make them ahead of time.

    When do we use the whisked egg? Do you weigh your yeast?

    • Gluten Free Stories says

      The whisked egg is used for brushing the rolls before baking (this part is optional). Yes, I measure the yeast. I used 8g of yeast and that is about 2 teaspoons.
