Ingredients

Dough

  • 3 ½ - 4 cups gluten free flour blend (we used King Arthur Measure for Measure - see post for more information about flours), + more for sprinkling
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (or 2 ¼ tsp)
  • 3 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • ½ teaspoon cloves
  • ½ cups unsweetened dairy free milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree
  • 6 tablespoon vegan butter, softened (not melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Cinnamon Roll Filling

  • 4 tablespoon vegan butter, melted and cooled
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Frosting (Choose 1)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl or stand mixing bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups gluten free flour, yeast, baking powder, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves.
  • Add in dairy free milk, apple cider vinegar, pumpkin puree, vegan butter, and vanilla.
  • Combine together with a spatula, or a dough hook if using stand mixer, until a dough forms. Add 1 tablespoon more gluten free flour at a time until dough is no longer sticky.
    *If using stand mixer, it should be pulling away from bowl.
  • Shape dough into a ball.  
  • Lay a 20" piece of plastic wrap down and tape the corners down.
    *This helps gluten free dough not stick to counter as you're rolling without laying down a bunch of gluten free flour.
  • Roll dough out to a 15x12 inch rectangle.

Filling

  • Spread melted butter across rectangle evenly very gently.  
  • Then, mix brown sugar and spices together and sprinkle over top. 
  • Carefully roll cinnamon rolls into log from the longest side up.
    *Note: You have to do this very gently. Gluten free dough will not bounce back like traditional dough.
  • Once completely rolled, place seam side down. Cut into 9 even pieces with a knife.
  • Place into a parchment lined 9x9 baking dish.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm, drafted free place for 30-45 minutes until doubled in size and touching.
    *Do not let over rise.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F 10 minutes before done rising. 
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes until dough has cooked through. 
  • Remove, and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • While cooling, make frosting. Top and serve.
