Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup dairy-free butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with dairy-free butter or coconut oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is uniform.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more gluten-free flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency.
- Lightly flour a clean surface with gluten-free flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently knead it a few times until it is smooth.
- Roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick, aiming for a size of approximately 12x16 inches.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread the melted dairy-free butter evenly over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered surface.
- Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal it, and then cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking dish. Leave a little space between each roll to allow for rising.
- Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes.
- After the rolls have risen, place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes in the pan. You can serve them warm, drizzled with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and almond milk if desired.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure your gluten-free flour correctly. Spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off for precise amounts.
- Warm Environment for Rising: To help your rolls rise perfectly, find a warm spot in your kitchen. You can even turn on your oven for a minute, then turn it off and place the rolls inside to rise.
- Adjust Consistency: If your dough feels too sticky while mixing, don't hesitate to add a little extra gluten-free flour one tablespoon at a time until you achieve a manageable dough.
- Cutting the Rolls: Use a sharp knife or a bench scraper to cut the rolled dough into even pieces. This will help ensure that they bake evenly.
- Add a Glaze: For an extra touch of sweetness, whip up a simple glaze using powdered sugar and almond milk. Drizzle it over the warm rolls just before serving for a beautiful finish.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage—just reheat in the oven when you’re ready to enjoy!
