These quick Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls are soft and full of cinnamon flavor. You would never know they're also eggless, nut free, easily vegan and yeast free! They take no time at all to whip up; perfect for all those early morning cinnamon cravings!
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. With vegetable oil, grease a 9 inch round or square baking dish.
For the filling: In a small bowl combine the filling ingredients and work them together with clean hands to form a crumbly mixture.
Sprinkle ⅓ of the filling mixture into the 9 inch pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, the granulated sugar, the baking powder and the salt. Cut or rip in the softened butter in pea size pieces. Once again, using clean hands, work the butter into the mixture.
Once combined, pour in the milk of choice and combine using a spatula to form a soft dough.
Lightly flour a clean surface, your hands and a rolling pin. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle about ¼ inch thick. If you notice it sticking, dust with more gluten free flour.
Spread the remaining filling onto the rolled out dough. Tightly but gently roll the rectangle into a log and using a sharp knife, cut into 12-18 pieces depending on how big you want them. I cut mine into 15.
Place the rolls into the baking dish with the cinnamon swirl facing up.
Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top, if desired and bake for 20 min.
When done, remove from the oven and start to make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and the water.
Once combined, pour it over the warm rolls that are still in the dish. Use a little spatula to spread the glaze around if needed. Let the glaze harden for a few moments and then you can begin to take the rolls out of the pan and serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes
Storing: Keep the gluten free cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature. If you don't have an airtight container that fits them all, wrap any extras in aluminum foil for up to 1 day. Heat each cinnamon roll in the microwave for 5-10 seconds before serving.I don't recommend freezing these cinnamon rolls. They taste best the first day.
