Are food allergies keeping you from making delicious treats your family will enjoy ?  

If you have gluten, egg, nut and a dairy allergy in your house, look no further.  This recipe is for you!

My daughter and I love cinnamon rolls.  Before starting our gluten-free diet, I would occasionally surprise her by baking up a batch from the store bought tube that we all know so well. The fresh baked scent is unmistakable.  I practically knew when they were ready before the oven timer beeped –this meant that the house smelled heavenly.

Since starting her gluten-free diet, I’ve experimented with nearly a dozen gluten free recipes.  Some are chewy, some are bland, some have way too much butter… and most lacked something.  It’s been a frustrating process… but we’ve finally nailed it!

These are the perfect allergy friendly cinnamon roll recipe. It’s gluten free, nut and egg free. In the recipe, you’ll also find how to make them dairy free.

The dough in this recipe can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. This is handy since I have a small family. We never need a full batch, so I can slice what we need and bake them for breakfast that morning. The final tip: bake them inside a muffin tin, in lieu of a larger round cake pan or baking dish. Serve warm and enjoy!

MOMables Allergy Friendly Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

    Dough:
  • 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose Gluten Free flour (King Arthur GF Flour is made in a Top-8 Allergen Free Facility)
  • 1/2 tsps of xanthan gum
  • 2 Tbsps of white granulated sugar
  • 4 Tbsps of melted butter*
  • 1 1/4 tsps of GF baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp of GF baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cup of plain greek yogurt**
  • Filing:
  • 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup of white granulated sugar
  • 3 tsps of ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp of melted butter*
  • Glaze:
  • 2 cups of confectioners sugar
  • 3 to 5 Tbsp of hot water
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup of melted butter*
  • *For dairy free, use a substitute like Earth Balance Vegan.
    **For dairy free, you can use a souring alternative -- 1 1/4 cup of milk substitute of choice + 3 tsps of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Mix and let stand for 10 minutes then add to recipe.

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and spray your pan with cooking spray - either a muffin tin or 9" round baking dish or cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, begin making the dough for the rolls by mixing together the yogurt** and 2 Tbsps of melted butter*.
  3. Stir in the flour, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda until absorbed. Dough will look soft and crumbly.
  4. Move the dough onto a floured worksurface and begin to knead and mix with your hands until smooth.
  5. Form the dough into an approximately 9x12" rectangle, then brush the dough with the remaining 2 Tbsps of melted butter*.
  6. In another bowl, combine all the ingredients to make the filling mixture.
  7. Once it resembles a wet sand, spread it evenly onto the dough leaving a 1/2" border. Push the filling firmly into the dough.
  8. Starting on the long side, begin to slowly roll the dough into a tight log. If your fingers are sticking to the dough, lightly flour or moisten them with water.
  9. Pinch the seam to seal the log and slice evenly into 10 rolls.
  10. Place slices into your pan and bake until edges begin to turn golden brown. Approximately 20 minutes.
  11. Once baked, remove from oven and move from pan onto cooling rack.
  12. While you allow them to slightly cool, begin to make your glaze by mixing the melted butter*, sugar, and vanilla. Add water 1 Tbsp at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
  13. Drizzle glaze over rolls and enjoy!

    These are awesome. I substituted a teaspoon of coffee instead of the vanilla as we have vanilla allergy in our home too.

  2. Jasmine says:

    Can the dough be made and refrigerated over night to make the process less time-consuming for making these the next morning? Will the temperature of the dough affect it’s ability to be rolled/shaped?

  3. Kristin says:

    Your recipe has two different amounts of butter. Which one is the correct one?

    Sorry, I didn’t read it enough! My mistake.

    I tried this recipe using regular gluten flour, was a little skeptical since it didn’t call for yeast, made it yesterday, turns out it was great, rose up, loved ‘em…. now to try them as recipe directs using gluten-free flour…thanks a bunch!!!!!
