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
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.
