This recipe for Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls is easy to make and the end result is a deliciously sweet treat for breakfast or brunch!
While home for the holidays this year, I spent some time brainstorming gluten free breakfast ideas for Christmas morning.
Since finding out my brother was gluten intolerant over 3 years ago, our entire Christmas dinner has shifted to a gluten-free menu. While we’ve now perfected the dinner menu, we still hadn’t come up with the perfect gluten-free breakfast to start off Christmas day. That was until this year, when I made this recipe for Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls.
While the gluten in traditional cinnamon rolls makes them more light and fluffy than their gluten-free counterpart, this recipe still gives you the soft, chewy, sweet, buttery goodness of a cinnamon roll without the gluten!
I used my go-to gluten free flour, Premium Gold, which is a 1-to-1 substitute for traditional white flour and tastes delicious! This recipe is not only super tasty, but it’s super easy to make, about 20 minutes of prep, 20 minutes in the oven and the cinnamon-y sugar-y goodness is all yours.

5 Comments on “Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls”
This recipe is delicious, and you used the only gluten-free flour I use. Premium Gold is the best flour on the market. It tastes like wheat flour, but doesn’t make my daughter sick. She has celiac disease, dairy and egg allergies. I used a flax egg, coconut sugar and substituted vegan butter. These cinnamon rolls are so tasty!
These turned out great! I love the ease of no yeast cinnamon rolls! Like another commenter, I added in all of the milk to the dough. They still turned out great! (Also, I tripled this to feed my large family.) I buy my PG Flour online thru Sam’s Club.
what stores sell premium gold gluten free flour
Hi Shirley, it’s available in some select Sprouts stores, or on Amazon. If Premium Gold cannot be found, another one-to-one gluten free flour can be used in it’s place.
These turned out delicious! I accidentally added the extra 1/4 c. Milk to the dough, I was afraid it wouldn’t turn out but they did. I also added some cranberries in the roll. Thank you for sharing this easy and quick recipe. Definitely saving this one.
