Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
- 0.75 cups Milk (any non-dairy option works too)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for icing)
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for icing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour and knead the dough a few times. Then roll it out into a rectangle approximately 10x12 inches.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Brush the rolled-out dough with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over it.
Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 8 equal pieces.
Place the sliced rolls into the prepared baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden and cooked through.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle the icing over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
