Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

5/5

Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting are a delightful treat, but they may not be the most suitable choice for an Indian weight loss diet due to their higher calorie and carbohydrate content. These cinnamon rolls are rich in flavor and texture, thanks to the blend of gluten-free flours and the creamy frosting.

INGREDIENTS

Gluten-Free Cinnamon Roll Dough:

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 packet (7g) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm milk of your choice
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg

Cinnamon Filling:

  • 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

Gluten-Free Cinnamon Roll Dough:

  1. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and water. Let it sit for a few minutes until frothy.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, coconut flour, sugar, and salt.

  3. Add the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter or coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg to the dry ingredients.

  4. Mix the dough until well combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.

  5. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Assembling the Cinnamon Rolls:

  1. Roll out the risen dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle.

  2. Spread the softened butter or coconut oil over the dough.

  3. Mix the brown sugar or coconut sugar with ground cinnamon and sprinkle it evenly over the buttered dough.

  4. Roll up the dough tightly from one end to the other, forming a log.

  5. Cut the log into 8-10 equal slices.

  6. Place the slices in a greased baking dish.

  7. Cover the baking dish with a damp cloth and let the rolls rise again for about 30-45 minutes.

  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  9. Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.

  2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting is well combined.

Assembling and Serving:

  1. Once the cinnamon rolls have cooled slightly, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top.

  2. Serve the Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting warm.

TIPS

  1. Enjoy these cinnamon rolls as an occasional indulgence rather than a regular breakfast option if you are aiming to lose weight.

  2. For a healthier alternative, consider using less sugar in the filling and opting for a lighter glaze.

  3. To make the frosting lighter, you can use a combination of cream cheese and Greek yogurt.

  4. Always consult with a nutritionist or healthcare professional for personalized advice and guidance on your weight loss journey, especially if you have specific dietary restrictions or health concerns.
