Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2¼ tsp instant yeast
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup warm milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 egg

For the Filling:

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1½ tsp cinnamon

For the Frosting:

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tsp milk (as needed for consistency)
  • Food coloring (black, orange, or purple)
  • Candy eyeballs, Halloween sprinkles, or other spooky decorations

Instructions

  1. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, egg, and sugar, mixing well to combine all the wet ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients and Form Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, salt, and instant yeast. Gradually add the wet mixture and stir until the dough forms a cohesive ball.
  3. Rest the Dough and Prepare Filling: Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes to activate the yeast. Meanwhile, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon well to create the filling.
  4. Roll Out Dough and Add Filling: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the surface.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Starting from the long side, roll up the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 8 equal rolls and place them in a greased round baking dish.
  6. Proof the Rolls: Cover the baking dish and allow the rolls to rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes until puffy.
  7. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top.
  8. Prepare Frosting: While the rolls are cooling, mix powdered sugar with 2 to 3 teaspoons of milk until desired consistency is reached. Tint the frosting with black, orange, or purple food coloring for a spooky effect.
  9. Decorate and Serve: Drizzle the colorful frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls and decorate with candy eyeballs and Halloween sprinkles for a festive touch.

Notes

  • Use a dairy-free milk and butter alternative to make these rolls vegan.
  • If you prefer, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the cinnamon filling for extra spice.
  • Gluten-free dough can be stickier than regular dough, so flour your surface lightly to ease rolling.
  • Make sure your milk is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast.
  • For a fluffier texture, consider letting the rolls rise a second time after slicing.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
