Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (for filling)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for filling)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, mix melted coconut oil, almond milk, brown sugar, and whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix using a spatula until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If dough seems too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of additional almond milk.
- Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out into a rectangular shape, approximately 12x9 inches thick.
- For the filling, mix maple syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Spread this mixture evenly across the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the dough from the long side, creating a tight log. Use the parchment paper to help guide the rolling process.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal rolls. Place rolls in the prepared baking pan, leaving a small space between each roll.
- Bake in preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and rolls are cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving. Optional: Drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and almond milk.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure your gluten-free flour correctly. Spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife to avoid packing it down.
- Dough Consistency: If your dough feels too dry, don’t hesitate to add an extra tablespoon or two of almond milk. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky for the perfect roll texture.
- Parchment Paper: Using parchment paper not only makes rolling the dough easier but also helps prevent sticking when you bake the rolls.
- Filling Variations: Feel free to experiment with the filling! Add chopped nuts, dried fruits, or even a touch of cocoa powder for a unique twist.
- Baking Time: Keep an eye on your rolls as they bake. Ovens can vary, so check for a golden brown color on the edges to ensure they’re perfectly cooked.
- Glaze It Up: For an extra touch of sweetness, whip up a simple glaze with powdered sugar and almond milk to drizzle over the rolls once they’ve cooled slightly.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate for longer freshness. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying!
