My loves!! It’s the BEST time of the year!!
And with Christmas comes lots of holiday festivities and chances to feed the ones you love. However- I get it- most holiday parties don’t offer a ton of options on the alternative eating front!
Don’t worry though, ’cause we GOT you! Check out this week’s gluten and dairy free cinnamon roll, using the ahhhmazing (and my fave) Simple Mills bread dough mix to make things EVEN easier! These truly are the easiest gluten free cinnamon rolls I’ve ever developed, and it is seriously hard to eat just one. Merry Christmas!!
The Easiest Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls (dairy-free too!)
What You Will Need:
Sweet dough:
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup filtered water
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 box Simple Mills bread mix
- 1/2 teaspoon powdered stevia
For the filling:
- 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons powdered stevia
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 1 /4 teaspoon salt
Lower-Sugar Glaze:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon stevia
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon rum extract
What You Will Do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease a 12-count muffin tin.
- Make filling: in a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients together until combined.
- Make rolls! In a large bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together; once combined, add in bread mix and 1/2 teaspoon stevia until combined.
- Gently fold in cinnamon sugar mixture. Don’t over mix- the aim is to have swirls of cinnamon in every bite.
- Scoop batter by about 2 tablespoons into each muffin tin. Once all are filled, just eye ball it to make sure they all look evenly filled. Add any extra dough you have to fill them up!
- Bake for 25 minutes. While baking, make the glaze!
- Whisk all glaze ingredients together until it is mostly clump-free and clear.
- Remove the rolls from the oven; if you want the rolls more brown on top, heat oven to broil and pop them back in the oven until the desired color is reached.
- Drizzle warm rolls with the glaze! Let the rolls cool for a few minutes, then promptly remove to cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Plate ’em up and ENJOY!!!
