Gluten-Free Vegan Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup brown rice flour
- 1 cup potato starch
- 1 cup tapioca starch
- 1/4 cup millet flour
- 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 Tablespoons dark-brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup melted organic shortening, divided
- 1 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (such as almond)
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour/sugar mix for rolling
- Oil, for pan
- Filling:
- 3/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon dairy-free shortening
- Icing: (Double if you like a lot)
- 2 Tablespoons melted organic shortening
- 2-4+ teaspoons non-dairy milk
- 3/4-1+ cups confectioners sugar
- Splash of vanilla extract (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400F. Oil a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Make the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Stir in the vanilla, 1/2 cup of the melted shortening, and the non-dairy milk. Mix with a wooden spoon until dough looks shaggy. Knead the dough a bit with your hands until it comes together in a ball. Let stand for a few minutes to thicken.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: combine the ingredients in a small bowl. Taste and add more cinnamon, if desired. Set aside.
- Turn the dough onto a large piece of floured parchment. The dough should be moist; if it seems sticky, add some flour before rolling. Gently roll the dough into a rectangle, approximately 9 x 12 inches. Brush the surface with half the remaining melted shortening, then evenly distribute the filling mixture over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all edges. Press the filling into the dough.
- To form the dough into a log, start at the long side of the paper, then curl the dough together, using the paper and your hands to guide it into a cylindrical shape. Pinch the seam to seal in the final turn. Turn the dough so the seam side is up. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough into 8 to 10 pieces.
- Place each piece into the prepared pan, then brush with the remaining melted shortening.
- Bake for 22 to 24 minutes, until tops are lightly golden and filling is bubbling.
- Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Then use a spatula to remove each roll individually; transfer to a cooling rack.
- To make the icing, combine the ingredients in a bowl until smooth, adding additional non-dairy milk for desired consistency. (If icing gets too thin, add more confectioners sugar.) Pour, drizzle, or pipe the glaze over the rolls.
- Serve warm. Store rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat to serve.
- Tip: Alternately, in lieu of a rolling pin, spread the dough into a rectangular shape using your hands.

I’m so excited to make these. I have had such a hard time finding gluten free, vegan baked goods!
Much Love, B
Sweet blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it
Gluten free potluck!
I do not even know how I stopped up right here, but I assumed this publish used to be good.
I do not know who you might be however certainly you’re going to a famous blogger should you aren’t already.
Cheers!
Admiring the commitment you put into your blog and in depth information you offer.
It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same unwanted
rehashed information. Fantastic read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds
to my Google account.
I need to use millet flour instead of brown rice flour. I read the PW site too. Would love to do pumpkin and apple for my church circle’s bake sale! Do these freeze well?
Thanks!
