Ingredients

• 3.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the milk and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Heat until the butter is melted, then let it cool to lukewarm.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the lukewarm milk mixture and the egg mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 5

Knead the dough lightly and place it in a greased bowl, covering it with a kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 6

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to form a rectangle about 12x18 inches.

Step 7

Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of softened butter over the rolled dough.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Step 9

Starting from one long side, roll the dough into a tight log and pinch the edge to seal.

Step 10

Cut the log into 12 equal rolls and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.

Step 11

Cover and let them rise in a warm place for another 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 13

Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 14

While the rolls cool slightly, make the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Beat until fluffy.

Step 15

Spread the cream cheese frosting over warm cinnamon rolls.

Step 16

Serve fresh and enjoy the warm, gooey deliciousness.
