This is the ultimate gluten-free cinnamon roll recipe! Made with Caputo Fioreglut gluten-free flour, this recipe creates the best, most delicious cinnamon rolls that are actually soft and fluffy! Topped with tangy cream cheese frosting, these cinnamon rolls are amazing!
In the stand mixer bowl, whisk the flour, brown sugar, psyllium husk powder, yeast, and salt together.
Attach the bowl to the stand mixer and turn to level 2. Slowly pour in the warmed milk and blend until combined.
Continue mixing and add in the eggs. Increase the speed to medium and blend until the mixture is well combined, about 1 minute.
Add in the softened butter and blend on medium speed for 2 minutes. The mixture should be thick and smooth.
Place a piece of parchment paper down and sprinkle with gluten-free flour. (Any blend is fine here, preferably an inexpensive one.) Place the dough on top and sprinkle a little more flour.
With a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into an 11x13-inch rectangle, about ¼-inch thick.
Spread a thin, even layer of very soft butter over the dough, leaving one edge exposed.
Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Roll the dough into a log, ending with the unbuttered edge. Pinch the end to seal the seam. Brush away any excess flour as you go. You can use the parchment paper to help you lift and roll if needed.
Slice the log into 1 ½-inch slices using dental floss (preferred) or a serrated knife, wiping clean after each slice.
Place nine slices cut side down in a greased 9-inch square pan. Any remaining slices can be placed in another small pan.
Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.
Once risen, remove the covering and bake the rolls at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Make the Frosting
Cream together the softened cream cheese and butter.
Blend in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
Spread the frosting on the rolls while they are still warm. Enjoy!
Notes
It is best to measure especially the flour by weight. To convert the entire recipe to grams, click the "metric" button at the top of the ingredients list. Clicking the US/Cups button, will list ingredients in cups measurements.
The dough may be soft, which is normal. If the slices aren't perfectly shaped, gently reshape them in the pan. A gentle hand is helpful here!
These rolls are best when eaten freshly baked and can last up to 2 days at room temperature. Microwave for 15 seconds to soften.
To Make Ahead: Prepare the rolls and allow them to rise. After they have risen, keep covered and refrigerate up to overnight. Allow the rolls to come to room temperature for at least 1 hour before baking.
The frosting can also be made ahead and refrigerated, but let it soften a bit before spreading on warm rolls.
