Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup Packed brown sugar
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, salt, and xanthan gum. Stir until well mixed.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not hot.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Combine the warm milk mixture with the flour mixture, then add the egg mixture. Stir until a smooth dough forms.

Step 5

Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 6

While the dough rests, prepare the filling. Mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Step 9

Roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal-sized pieces.

Step 10

Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 12

Bake the cinnamon buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown.

Step 13

While the buns are baking, prepare the frosting. Beat the cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of softened butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and heavy cream, beating until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.

Step 14

Once the cinnamon buns are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese frosting over each bun.

Step 15

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious homemade gluten-free cinnamon buns!
