Description

Gluten-free sourdough cinnamon rolls bring back the warm, sticky comfort of a bakery classic—soft, sweet, and full of cozy flavor, all without gluten.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1/2 cup oat flour or sorghum flour
  • 1 cup active gluten-free sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup warm almond milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum or psyllium husk
  • 4 tbsp softened butter (or vegan butter)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 23 tbsp dairy-free milk (for glaze)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Feed sourdough starter and let it become bubbly and active.
  2. In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour blend, oat flour, xanthan gum, coconut sugar, eggs, almond milk, and sourdough starter. Mix until smooth and sticky.
  3. Cover and let dough rise overnight in a warm spot.
  4. Lightly flour a surface with gluten-free flour. Roll out dough into a soft rectangle.
  5. Spread softened butter evenly. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the butter.
  6. Roll dough into a log and slice into 2-inch rolls.
  7. Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rest for another 30–45 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25–30 minutes until golden and fluffy.
  9. For glaze, whisk powdered sugar, dairy-free milk, and vanilla until pourable. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze individually and reheat to keep them soft and bakery-fresh.
