Burnellfam08 Recipe ♯ Homemade Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls

Gluten-free Cinnabon®-like cinnamon rolls...the best! No one has guessed yet that they are homemade gluten-free cinnamon rolls! It took me a while to perfect this recipe that I came up with but it finally works.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup white sugar
• 2 ¼ teaspoons quick-rise yeast
• 1 ¾ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons xanthan gum
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ⅓ cup milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 large egg
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour, or as needed
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• ¾ cup powdered sugar
• ½ tablespoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 dash salt

Cooking Directions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
8. Bake rolls in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 22 to 27 minutes.
9. 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.
10. Remove cinnamon rolls from the oven and immediately drizzle frosting over top.
