Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls are a delectable treat made without yeast, perfect for those looking for a quick and easy option.

Gluten-free cinnamon rolls are a delightful treat that many people enjoy. What makes these cinnamon rolls special is that they are made without gluten, which is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten-free cinnamon rolls have a slightly different texture compared to traditional ones, but they are just as delicious. These rolls usually consist of a soft, sweet dough infused with cinnamon and sugar, providing a comforting aroma as they bake in the oven. Once baked, they are often topped with a luscious cream cheese icing that adds a creamy and tangy touch. Whether you have dietary restrictions or simply enjoy trying new flavors, gluten-free cinnamon rolls are a fantastic choice for a satisfying and indulgent treat. Just imagining sinking your teeth into a warm, fluffy cinnamon roll is enough to make anyone’s mouth water.

- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbs warm water

Instructions To Make Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9 inch pie dish or casserole dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together your tapioca flour, almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl combine your melted butter, sweetener, eggs, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
- Add your wet ingredients to your dry mixture and mix until combined, your dough will be sticky.
- Add 2 tbs warm water to your dough and mix well. Let your dough rest for 5 minutes to firm up. While your dough rests mix together all of your filling ingredients and set aside.
- On a piece of parchment paper, spread about 1 tbs of tapioca flour so it covers about 8X12 inches. Take your dough and place it on your working surface, cover with parchment paper and roll your dough with a rolling pin into a 8X12 even rectangle.
- Spread your filling mixture evenly over your dough, leaving at least a 1/2 inch around the edges.
- Using the short side (the 8 inch side) carefully roll your dough rectangle into a log. Cut into nine equal pieces. Place your rolls in your greased dish and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Combine your topping ingredients and whisk until smooth. Once your cinnamon rolls slightly cool, spread your topping on top and enjoy!
