Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, granulated sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to combine.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk and butter until the butter has just melted. Ensure the milk is not too hot. It should be warm to the touch, not scalding.
Add the warm milk mixture, large egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer with paddle attachment until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a log and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball using your hands.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll for expansion.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes until they have doubled in size.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving. These rolls are best enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
