Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls

December 20, 2015

I remember growing up we always had one of two things for Christmas breakfast. Cinnabon and raisin toast. Udi’s makes raisin bagels that I really like so I haven’t missed out on that since going gluten free. They recently came out with a cinnamon roll as well, but it isn’t really much like Cinnabon’s although it works in a pinch if you’re too lazy to bake.

I wanted to try and make something that was more comparable to Cinnabon’s cinnamon rolls though. This is what I got. Fair warning, if you do eat Udi’s cinnamon rolls you’ll never be able to go back after this. This recipe is a bit time consuming (I’d make sure to set aside 2 hours from start to finish) but it makes a lot and you could easily freeze some or make smaller cinnamon rolls to get more out of it.

Filling
  1. 4 Tbsp butter at room temp
  2. 1 1/4 Cup brown sugar
  3. 4 Tsp ground cinnamon
Dough
  1. 2 Cups all purpose gluten free flour (I use Robin Hood)
  2. 2 Tbsp white sugar
  3. 3 Tsp baking powder
  4. 1/4 Tsp xanthan gum
  5. 1 Tsp salt
  6. 3 Tbsp butter at room temperature
  7. 1/4 Cup milk
  8. 2 Large eggs
Cream Cheese Icing
  1. 2 ounces cream cheese (6 Tbsp)
  2. 1 Cup icing (powdered) sugar
  3. 3 Tbsp milk
Rolls
  1. In a small bowl mix all the ingredients for the filling with a fork; the mixture will be crumbly. Set it aside for now.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients for the dough.
  3. Using an electric mixer, mix in the butter first then the eggs and milk.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured cutting board in a long rectangle/oval shape approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Sprinkle the filling on top of the dough, leaving roughly an inch around the edge.
  6. Carefully roll the dough into a log then slice the log into 10 – 15 rolls.
  7. Place the rolls into a lightly greased muffin tin and bake for 20-30 minutes, o0r until they are golden-brown at 400F.
Icing
  1. Mix together using an electric mixer.
  2. Drizzle over cinnamon buns once they are cooled.
Notes
  1. You can make extra icing and store it in the fridge to add on top as needed. I warm up my cinnamon buns by just zapping them in the microwave.

I had content planned to post sooner (like this photo as I’m sure you can clearly tell by the Christmas decorations 😅), but life happened and I ended up taking a break from Instagram for the rest of my holidays which honestly was really nice.

This week was my first week back to work, so I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with my pjs and Ruffi again this weekend.
