- If you've got food allergies,
today is going to be the best day ever.
Together, we're going to make soft, gooey cinnamon rolls
and I bet that you haven't had some in a while, right?
So let's get started by preheating the oven
and greasing a baking dish.
As I make this recipe,
I wanna share with you the tried and true substitutes
you can use for each ingredient.
Sounds good?
Now, this dough comes together in a large bowl
by combining Greek yogurt and melted butter.
Now, if you need to make this recipe dairy free,
use canned coconut milk and a butter substitute
like coconut oil or vegetable derived spread.
Of course, the full recipe link with amounts and substitutes
is going to be right below this video.
To make these cinnamon rolls gluten free,
I'm using an all-purpose gluten free flour.
Now, my flour does not contain xanthan gum
so I'm gonna add that to help bind the ingredients.
Now, to give these a little lift,
we're gonna use baking powder and baking soda.
These two are gonna substitute yeast
in a traditional cinnamon roll recipe.
A note here is that the dough is going to look
soft and crumbly.
Now, let's sprinkle a little gluten free flour on here
and place our dough.
With your hands and the assistance of a rolling pin,
we are going to form a rectangle.
Let's give this a good brush with some melted butter
or coconut oil.
So in this bowl I'm gonna combine some brown sugar
with regular sugar, cinnamon and melted butter.
Again, for a dairy free version, just use coconut oil
or a vegetable derived substitute.
This filling we're going to sprinkle right over our dough
and with our hands we're gonna gently press the filling
onto the dough.
Starting with the long side,
we're gonna slowly roll the dough into a tight log.
Now, this my friends is more like a roll and press.
Just remember this is not traditional yeasty dough
so sometimes your fingers can get a little sticky
and stick to the dough so just lightly dip your fingers
in some extra gluten free flour and keep rolling.
Now that this cinnamon roll log is rolled up,
let's press down on the end seam
and finally we're gonna cut it into 10 rolls.
What I find really easy
is just to find your center right here
and then cut five pieces on each side
and if you don't want it to fall apart,
just go in one direction just like that.
Now we're gonna place each roll
inside our greased baking dish.
Into the oven it goes for 20 minutes
until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
While those are baking, let's prepare the icing.
Now, I've got some melted butter or coconut oil
that I'm gonna mix with confectioners sugar,
vanilla extract and a little warm water.
Let's give it a good whisk
until completely smooth and drizzly consistency.
Aside from coffee, the cinnamon roll smell
is one of my favorites.
It's been 20 minutes and the whole house smells amazing,
the edges are golden brown which means they're ready.
Now, these need to cool down a little
before you drizzle them with the icing
so waiting is always the hardest part.
Now, this is a job that my kids fight over
and I can't blame them.
So warm, soft and cinnamony.
Look at how they pull apart and no kneading required.
Guys, you've gotta make this recipe.
These quick cinnamon rolls, they are no knead,
they can be gluten free, dairy free, they are yeast free.
