Gluten Free Cinnamon Buns

There seems to be a cinnamon bun hype on social media at the moment, so I’ve been keen to make my own! After a couple of attempts, I’ve come up with a simple recipe for tasty cinnamon buns with the most indulgent cream cheese topping. These only lasted two days as they were THAT good.

The first time I made these cinnamon buns I didn’t use yeast as I just couldn’t find any and they were very crumbly. The second batch, however, were lovely, and pretty much how I remember them (although it has been a while!) The recipe below makes between 7 – 9 cinnamon buns depending on the size of each bun.

Gluten Free Cinnamon Buns

Ingredients

  • 375 g Gluten free self-raising flour
  • 2 tbsp Caster sugar
  • 70 g Butter
  • 1 Egg (and 1 yolk)
  • 175 ml Milk (Lactose-free)
  • 2¼ tsp Yeast

For the filling:

  • 1 ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • 100 g Soft brown sugar
  • 40 g Butter (melted)

Cream cheese topping:

  • 60 g Icing sugar
  • ½ tbsp Cream cheese
  • ½ tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Water

Instructions

  • Heat the milk in a microwavable bowl for 40 seconds.
  • Add the yeast, sugar, eggs and melted butter.
  • Stir in the flour and knead the dough (I used a dough hook in a free-standing mixer). If the dough is sticky, add an extra tbsp of flour.
  • Place the dough in an oiled bowl for an hour or so.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface and make a large rectangle.
  • Mix together the filling and spread this onto the dough.
  • Roll and cut into buns (should make between 7 – 9 buns depending on size).
  • Grease and line a cake tin and fill with the cinnamon rolls.
  • Cover for a further 30-45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to gas mark 4 or 180 degrees.
  • Brush the cinnamon rolls with milk and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • When the buns come out of the oven, make the topping and spread over the buns.

I hope you enjoy baking these cinnamon delights! I love seeing you creating my recipes, please share your images with me on Instagram or send via email.

It’s sometimes easy to make the same few meals on repeat, and if like me you end up having regulars, then this needs to become one of them. It’s also quick and easy for weeknights as it can all be made in one pot. Let me know if you give it a try!

#AD Through suffering with IBS, I have always stru #AD Through suffering with IBS, I have always struggled with dairy-rich foods, which are naturally high in lactose, resulting in periods of being very unwell after eating. I absolutely love foods high in lactose such as cheese, cream and of course - chocolate - and have missed out on so many desserts in the past! However, I’m so pleased to share that you don’t have to miss out anymore, as you can take @lactojoy, a tablet containing a high dose of lactase, before eating. Lactase digests lactose and reduces any unwanted ill effects after eating. Since taking @lactojoy, I have been able to eat out more, indulge during the holidays and not have to turn down any desserts! Here I’ve made a gluten free chocolate tart, with a rich and indulgent cream filling that you can enjoy after taking @lactojoy. The tart has a nutty and crunchy chocolatey base and is filled with a smooth, velvety interior that melts in your mouth. If consumed after taking @lactojoy, this tart can be enjoyed as part of a Low FODMAP diet, let me know if you’d like the recipe #stayfresh  #feelbetter #lactojoy #Laktase #lactase

Throwback to a delicious half term brunch at @josi Throwback to a delicious half term brunch at @josiesuk in Romsey. It was my first time there. The cafe is so much bigger here than in Bishops Waltham, and I loved having a wander round Romsey afterwards visiting the Abbey and strolling along the river. I’d recommend a visit if you’re local. I went for the gluten free Eggs Royale with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce. What’s your go-to low FODMAP brunch order? 🍳🍅 🍞 🥓 🥑

I had the most incredible gluten free buttermilk t I had the most incredible gluten free buttermilk twisted chicken burger at @maritimolounge yesterday. It came with crispy bacon, cheese, tomato, salad and mayonnaise (I had it without the chipotle sauce and guacamole to avoid onion and garlic). I can honestly say it was probably the best chicken burger I’ve ever had. The crunchy coating on the chicken was the real highlight and I recommend everyone goes to their local @thelounges to give a try! The view was also stunning, swipe to see the sunshine over Ocean Village. It’s one of my favourite spots to sit in Southampton. 🌊 ☀️🛥️
