Easy Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls – The Video!
When I was diagnosed with celiac, I figured that there would be certain foods I could never eat again. Hot, gooey cinnamon rolls were definitely one of the foods I thought would be impossible to recreate. Discovering this yeast-free – no rise – recipe to make easy gluten-free cinnamon rolls has been life changing. I made them for the first time around the holidays and they have been a family (and friend!) favorite ever since.
I like to roll out my dough on a marble slab I picked up at Sur La Table. Less sticking. Self-contained space. Not so much to clean. Set aside maybe 15 minutes to mix and roll these out and then 20 minutes to bake. That’s it. You can also make them ahead of time right up to the point that you put them in the oven, cover them and freeze them. I pull them out to thaw when I make my coffee and then pop them in the oven when my coffee is ready and the oven is warm.
These easy gluten-free cinnamon rolls taste amazing right out of the oven, but they are also delicious on day 2 or 3. If you can hide them from your friends and family for that long…
