Best Gluten Free Buttermilk Cinnamon Rolls Recipes

HOMEMADE GLUTEN-FREE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine sugar and yeast for dough in a small bowl. Mix 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt together in a second bowl.
• Place milk and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high, stirring every 15 seconds, until 110 to 115 degrees F (43 to 46 degrees C), about 45 seconds. Whisk into the yeast mixture and set aside to proof, about 5 minutes.
• Combine proofed yeast with olive oil, egg, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; mix for a moment and then slowly add in the flour mixture. Mix with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until dough thickens and loses some of its stickiness, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Cover a work surface with a sheet of good quality plastic wrap and a light layer of flour. Place dough in the center and cover with a little more flour and another sheet of plastic wrap. Roll out to a 10x13-inch rectangle; remove top layer of plastic wrap.
• Combine brown sugar and cinnamon for filling in a small bowl. Spread melted butter over the entire dough rectangle and sprinkle brown sugar mixture evenly over top.
• Start at a long edge and roll the dough, using the plastic wrap to help lift and roll as you go. Lightly sprinkle dough with more flour and cut into 10 pieces with a sharp knife. Place rolls in a greased baking pan, cover with plastic wrap, and place in a warm spot to rise for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 22 to 27 minutes.
• While rolls are baking, beat butter and cream cheese for frosting in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add powdered sugar; mix until smooth. Mix in lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt.
• Remove cinnamon rolls from the oven and immediately drizzle frosting over top.

GLUTEN-FREE BUTTERMILK CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Prepare dough: Whisk 2 1/2 cups rice flour, potato starch, sugar, eggs, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Cut in shortening until no lumps remain. Gradually pour in buttermilk and mix until incorporated; add more rice flour if dough feels too goopy. Knead with floured hands until dough is a good, solid consistency, then place in the refrigerator to cool for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Remove dough from the refrigerator and divide in half. Roll each piece on a floured surface into a 9x12-inch rectangle.
• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon for filling together in a bowl. Spread 1/2 of the butter over each dough rectangle. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture, then spread nuts evenly over top. Starting at the long edges, roll each rectangle into a log, then cut each into 12 slices with a very sharp knife or dental floss. Place rolls in the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare frosting: Mix confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together. Gradually mix in milk until frosting reaches a spreading consistency.
• Remove cinnamon rolls from the oven and spread frosting over while still warm.
