Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
• 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Filling:
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• Frosting:
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix the warm milk and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, salt, melted butter, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
3. Add the foamy yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Combine until a soft dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
5. Roll the dough into a 12×10 inch rectangle.
6. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
7. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle it over the buttered dough.
8. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut into 12 equal slices.
9. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and cover with a damp cloth, allowing them to rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
10. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
11. While baking, prepare the frosting by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
12. Once the rolls are baked, let them cool for 10 minutes before drizzling the frosting generously over the top.

Helpful Tips

• Ensure your milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
• For extra gooey rolls, add a little more butter to the filling.
• Substitute dairy milk with almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free option.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before serving.
