Ingredients
  

For the dough

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour Make sure to measure correctly for best results.
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (or your choice of milk) Can substitute with any non-dairy milk.
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar) Use brown sugar if preferred.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce Adds moisture to the dough.
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter Either works well in this recipe.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Ensure it's fresh for proper rising.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt Enhances flavor.

For the filling

  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar) Use brown sugar if preferred.
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons softened coconut oil or butter For spreading on the dough.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Shaping the Rolls

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Spread the softened coconut oil or butter across the surface, then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture generously over the top.

Baking

  • Starting from one edge, gently roll the dough into a log.
  • Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cinnamon rolls for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Let them cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
  • If desired, drizzle with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and almond milk.

Notes

Measure the flour correctly, use room temperature ingredients, and apply proper rolling technique for best results. Store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze well-wrapped rolls.
