Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Gluten Free
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup icing sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, milk, and egg until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add an extra tablespoon of milk.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out into a rectangular shape, approximately 12x9 inches.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
- Remove the top parchment paper and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Using the bottom parchment paper, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from the long side.
- Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls into the prepared baking pan, leaving a small space between each roll.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are cooked through.
- While rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing icing sugar with milk until smooth and slightly runny.
- Remove rolls from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle with glaze while still warm.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the gooey, warm cinnamon rolls!
Tips
- Always use a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the best texture and rise.
- Don't skip the parchment paper – it makes rolling and cutting the dough much easier.
- If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
- Use dental floss for the cleanest, most even roll cuts.
- Check your rolls around the 20-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
- Warm rolls are always best – serve immediately for maximum gooey goodness!
- For extra moisture, brush the rolls with a little melted butter before baking.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and warm slightly before serving.
