How to Make Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls (Overview)

Let’s break it down, shall we? Start by preheating your oven, because nothing’s better than getting that warmth flowing. Then, mix together your dry ingredients—it’s like a little science experiment. Next, incorporate the wet ingredients and knead until you have a soft dough.

After that, it’s all about rolling! Roll it out, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, roll it up, and slice into pieces—just like a sweet little log of happiness. Bake them until golden, and don’t forget to add that delightful glaze when they’re fresh from the oven. Pro tip: This glaze is what dreams are made of, so don’t skimp on the drizzle!

How to Serve Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls

These rolls are a feast for the eyes and the senses! Serve them warm, and watch as they glisten under that sugary glaze. Pair them with a cup of hot cocoa or a steaming mug of coffee, and your breakfast or brunch is complete. The crunchy bits of sugar and warming cinnamon will have you basking in comfort all morning long. 🥰

How to Store Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls

If you have any left (which is a big if!), store them in an airtight container. They’ll stay good in the fridge for about 3-4 days. For longer storage, wrap them well and pop them in the freezer for up to 3 months. To enjoy them later, just reheat in the oven or microwave. Easy peasy!

Tips to Make Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls

1. Don’t over-knead the dough; you want it soft and fluffy, not tough.
2. Try adding nuts or raisins for extra texture; they add a delightful twist!
3. If the dough feels too dry, a little more almond milk will work wonders.
4. Make sure your oven is fully preheated—perfect rolls come at the right temp!
5. For a refined sugar swap, opt for maple syrup in the glaze.

Variation

Feeling adventurous? You can make these rolls vegan by using your favorite plant-based butter and dairy-free milk. For a twist, add pumpkin spice, chocolate chips, or even a splash of lemon zest for brightness. Why not let your creativity run wild with these rolls?

FAQs

Can I make these rolls the night before?

What can I use instead of almond milk?
Any dairy-free milk will work just fine, including oat, coconut, or soy milk!

How do I freeze these cinnamon rolls?
Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then pop them in the freezer. Thaw and reheat when you’re ready to enjoy.
