Cinnamon Rolls
I absolutely adore cinnamon rolls, really cinnamon anything! One of the things I missed the most since going gluten-free was cinnamon rolls.
I was looking for gluten-free cinnamon roll and cinnamon buns recipes online and they seemed so labor intensive. These recipes had lots of steps and took lots of time.
This busy mama of four does not have time for that!
So when I found this recipe for cinnamon roll cake on Chef In Training‘s blog I was so excited. I found that the cinnamon roll cake was easy to modify to be gluten-free.
A lot of gluten-free cooking is finding ways to modify your favorite recipes to be gluten-free.
Gluten-Free Flour
These gluten-free crepes were made with a rice flour blend. I like Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.
Pro Tip
The best way to measure gluten-free flour is the “spoon & level” method. Using a spoon, scoop the flour into the measuring cup. After you’ve spooned the flour into the measuring cup, use the back of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup. Friends, please do not scoop the flour out of the bag with your measuring cup.
Dairy-Free Baking
I have also included a dairy-free option to my gluten-free cinnamon roll cake recipe. My husband, my youngest son, and I are all dairy-free.
I promise it is just as delicious made with the dairy-free butter and dairy-free milk. For this recipe, I like to bake with almond or cashew milk and Smart Balance or Earth Balance butter.
So, you too can enjoy a gluten-free and dairy-free cinnamon roll cake.
Gluten-Free Roll Cinnamon Cake
Gluten-free cinnamon rolls can be hard to recreate. With this gluten-free cinnamon roll cake recipe, you get all of the flavors of cinnamon rolls and cinnamon buns without all of the work!
This is not your average cinnamon cake. It has both the texture and the taste of a gooey cinnamon roll.
Seriously this is one of my favorite gluten-free cakes!
Cinnamon rolls are not just for breakfast anymore. Enjoy!
I like Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.

Sandra Hou says
Hi,
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’m looking forward to trying it! But I have two questions and hopefully they don’t sound too silly.
The first one is about the instruction for mixing the cake ingredients—do I use a spoon or a hand mixer? The other question is the flour. I have Glutino gluten free all purpose flour in my pantry. It doesn’t contain xanthan gum, but it has acacia gum. Do I need to add xanthan gum in this case?
Audrey says
Hi Sandra! There is never a silly question when it comes to gluten-free baking friend. For mixing the cake, you can use a spoon or a hand mixer. I would recommend using a hand mixer because the batter is really thick. I have never tried the Glutino gluten-free flour. I think that the acacia gum acts similar to the xanthan gum, so I would think that you would not need to add anything extra to the flour. I looked on the Glutino website and it says that it’s a cup for cup flour. I hope you enjoy the cinnamon roll cake!
Carly says
I’m in the UK and I used doves gluten free flour, all I can say is wow. It’s UNBELIEVABLE. Even my gf sceptic boyfriend (hates anything gf because of the texture) thinks it’s gorgeous.
Thank you so much for sharing the recipe! Xxx
Audrey says
Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star recipe review Carly! I am so happy that you and your boyfriend enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake. It’s one mine and my family’s favorite cakes. We don’t have Doves flour here in the U.S. but thank you for sharing what flour you used so it can help others in the UK. You are so welcome I love sharing what I make for my family. Thank you again!
Stephanie C says
This recipe is perfect! I made it yesterday, using King Arthur Flour mix, it’s all I had. I made it into cupcakes though. Perfect! Also, my husband asked me to make them into mini cups, for my son to take to school, they are wonderful too! Thank you so much for this
Audrey says
Thank you so much Stephanie for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that you and your family enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake. I love that you made it into cupcakes and mini cups. You are so welcome I love sharing what I make for my family. Thanks again!
Alison Althouse says
This recipe was a godsend! We have friends coming for a quick visit tomorrow and one is GF, so I wanted to make a dessert that she’d enjoy! It turned out perfectly and looks outstanding. I used King Arthur GF flour and actually aubstituted 1/4c white wine for some milk (I write a wine blog)… worked well and tastes amazing! Thanks so much!!
Audrey says
Thank you so much Alison for the wonderful recipe review! I am so happy that you enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake. I am glad that the King Arthur gluten-free flour and the wine worked well in the recipe. I’ve not tried King Arthur gluten-free flour, but I need to. You are so welcome, I love sharing what I make for my family. Thank you again!
Beth says
Loved this cake! I did cheat and use a Pamela’s GF cake mix, but added milk instead of water to the mix. I did all other things the same and it was delicious!
Audrey says
I am so happy to hear that you loved the cinnamon roll cake Beth! Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I’ve never tried Pamela’s cake mix, but i need to. I am glad that it worked well with the recipe. Thank you again!
Missy Hoyland says
Made this yesterday! Awesome cake. Easy recipe. Definitely a keeper.
Audrey says
Thank you so much Missy for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that you enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake. Thank you again!
Kate says
I used the bobs red mill 1 to 1 and baked for 36 minutes. When I cut into it I realized the cake was not quite done so I put it back in for another 7 minutes. After letting it cool, I cut a slice and found it still not fully cooked. The taste is delicious, but could this be just my oven or possibly my flour choice?
Audrey says
Hi Kate! I think it may be your flour choice. Anytime I have test baked with Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 the batter has always been wetter. The Bob’s Red Mill has sorghum flour in it and the Pillsbury gluten-free flour is a rice flour blend, so it bakes differently. I have not had anyone else let me know that the cake did not bake fully with using Bob’s Red Mill. If you think your oven might be off, you could get an oven thermometer to check, I’ve had to do that too to make sure my oven was not running too hot. I hope you will try the recipe again with the Pillsbury gluten-free flour or a gluten-free flour blend with similar ingredients. I hope this helps. The cinnamon roll cake is one of my family’s favorite cakes.
Jennifer says
I just made this Christmas Eve before bed so it would be ready Christmas morning. It was an easy to follow recipe and came out so well. I used King Arthur’s gluten free cup for cup flour, regular butter, and almond milk. My husband loved it. I brought the cake to family dinner and my Great Aunt took one bite and said “Damn that’s good!” This recipe is definitely a winner. Thank you so much!
Audrey says
Thank you so much Jennifer for the amazing 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that you and your family enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake and that you found the recipe easy to follow. I have never tried baking with King Arthur flour, but I really need too because so many of my readers like it. Thank you for your kind words, you made my night. You are so welcome, I love sharing what I make for my family. Thank you again!
Diana says
I am making this a day ahead to have on Christmas. Do I put the glaze on it now or wait until serving ? Also, if I do put the glaze on now does it need to be stored in refrigerator ?
Audrey says
Hi Diana! I always put the glaze on the warm cake. I hope you enjoy the cinnamon roll cake!
Diana says
This was delicious! My whole family lived it. However, I did have the same problem as Kate with it not being fully cooked. I also used the Bob’s 1 to 1. I will make again but will use the flour recommended. Thank you for sharing! I now have another treat my whole family can enjoy!
Audrey says
Thank you Diana for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! I have found any time I have test baked with Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 the batter is wetter and takes longer to bake. The Bob’s Red Mill has sorghum flour so it absorbs moisture differently and bakes differently. I highly recommend the Pillsbury gluten-free or a rice flour blend that has similar ingredients. I order the Pillsbury from Walmart for less than $5 a 2lb bag. I am so happy that your family enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake! It’s one of my family’s favorite cakes. You are so welcome I love sharing what I make for my family. Thank you again!
Melanie says
Hi!
I’m planning to make this for my family Christmas tomorrow. My sister just found out a few months ago that she has celiac. I was hoping to make a dessert that she can enjoy (along with the rest of us)
I cannot find xanthum gum anywhere. I live in a small town too and no that it’s this close to Christmas I’m going to have to leave it out.
I have the bobs red mill all purpose gf flour.
Is this going to be ok without the gum?
Audrey says
Hi Melanie, that is so wonderful that you are making this for your sister! I do not recommend using Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose flour gluten-free for this recipe (red bag). Their all-purpose flour is made with garbanzo bean flour and it has a very different taste and texture than gluten-free flours made with rice flour (some people don’t care for the taste). Bob’s Red Mill also makes a Cup for Cup gluten-free flour (blue bag). I highly recommend you use a gluten-free flour blend that is made with rice flour. I bake with Pillsbury gluten-free flour and a lot of my readers like King Arthur, Pamelas or Betterbatter. Gluten-free flour blends that are “cup for cup” with have xanthum gum already in it. This cake is one of my most popular recipes and my family’s personal favorite. I hope you are able to find a gluten-free rice flour blend to make it and that everyone enjoys it! Merry Christmas!
Karen says
Cup4Cup gluten-free flour already has xanthum gum in it. I order the flour off of Amazon – nice and easy!!
Audrey says
I’ve never tired Cup4Cup but I know a lot of people like it. If you have a dairy allergy or sensitivity you cannot use it because it has milk powder in it. Thanks for the recommendation Karen!
christie says
I am making this for Christmas morning breakfast! I was dx with Celiac disease 18 months ago and our tradition of cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning was really missed by us all last year! I can’t wait to try it!
Audrey says
Hi Christie I hope you enjoy the cinnamon roll cake! It’s my family’s favorite cake. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas!
Meredith says
Just make it! It was so delicious! The cake was moist and full of flavor. It was just as delicious the next day. I can’t wait to try more recipes. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
Audrey says
Hi Meredith thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! I am so happy that you enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake. I hope you enjoy any other recipes that you try. Thanks again!
LADONNA MORGAN says
Oh my gosh ,, This was AMAZING! Truly brilliant. I would call this a Cinnamon roll coffee cake! Soo Good! Thank you
Audrey says
Thank you so much for the 5-star recipe review Ladonna! I am so happy that you enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake. Thanks again!
Erin Rogers says
This was my first ever attempt at baking anything gluten free and it turned out amazing! Hubby and kids loved it (they are not fans of anything GF and this recipe has turned them around!) and the entire cake was consumed in under 6 hours! So pleased with how easy this was to make and how delicious it turned out. I can’t wait to try more of these recipes!
Audrey says
This makes my heart so happy to hear! Thank you so much Erin for the wonderful recipe review. I am so happy that your family enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake. It’s one of my family’s favorites. I always tell people that you’ll never know that it’s gluten-free. I hope you enjoy the other recipes you try. Please let me know if I can help you in any way.

Rhonda says
This sounds amazing! I am cooking for a dinner party for 12. Will be quite busy and need oven space. One gal is gluten free. Will this recipe be okay to make a day ahead??
Thank you so much!
Audrey says
Thank you so much Rhonda! Yes, this cake can be made ahead of time. Just make sure you cover it really well or store it in an air-tight container. My 9×13 pan has a lid. You are so welcome. I hope everyone enjoys it. Happy Thanksgiving!
Renee says
Made this yesterday as a practice run for Christmas. So easy to make and delicious. My daughter is the only one in our family who is GF and everyone loved it. Could not tell used GF flour. Used Robin Hood All Purpose Gluten Free Flour. Next time will try to bake as muffins.
Audrey says
Hi Renee! Thank you so much for the wonder 5-star recipe review! It makes my heart so happy to hear that your family enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake. It’s one of my family’s all-time favorites. I’ve never seen Robin Hood Purpose Gluten Free Flour. I’ll have to look for it. If you enjoyed the cake you should really like the muffins too. I hope you and your family enjoy them. Thank you again Renee!
April says
These turned out great! You would never ever guess they were made with gluten free flour. SO GOOD.
Audrey says
Hi April! I am so happy that you enjoyed the cake. Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review. I always say that no one ever knows that this cake is gluten-free.
Aimee Shugarman says
LOVE that this is gluten free. And packed with flavor too!
Audrey says
Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! Yes, gluten-free can be just as tasty. Thanks again!
Nancy says
AMAZING!!! Used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 flour. You would never guess it was GF! Brought only raves at monthly birthday treats at work. Can’t wait to peruse the rest of this site. This is going to be the answer to my prayers! Thank you, thank you!
Audrey says
Thank you so much Nacy for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! It makes my heart so happy to hear that you enjoyed the cinnamon cake. It’s one of my family’s favorites. You are so welcome, I love sharing what I make for my family!
Heather says
I just made this cake and it is almost time for it to come out of the oven and I can hardly wait. I am a teacher (yay for summer break) and I love baking for my family and they are HUGE breakfast eaters. I too use the Pillsbury gf flour, but I also by Bob’s Red Mill 1- to-1 baking flour at a Cash and Carry in 25lb bags for about $22. I am glad to hear others tried it with Bob’s and it turned out great. This recipe is a keeper and I love how easy it is to make! Thank you soooo much!!
Audrey says
Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! That’s awesome about the large bags of Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1. I have not seen it where I live. I am so happy that you and your family enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake. You are so welcome I love sharing what I make for my family!
Melinda says
I will never go through the work and mess of making gluten free cinnamon rolls again! This cake was so easy and delicious. My mom and dad who are not gluten intolerant loved it too!
Audrey says
I feel exactly the same Melinda! I love the big cinnamon roll flavor of the cake without the time and mess of making cinnamon rolls. I am so happy you and your parents enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake! Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star recipe review.????
Karen says
Quick question…what does the zanthan gum do? I am new to gluten free eating and trying to make some of the comfort foods I used to make.
Audrey says
Hi Karen! I like to use flours that are a cup for cup and already have the xanthan gum already in it (like the Pillsbury gluten-free flour). Here’s the reason why xanthan gum is used in gluten-free baking. “Because baked goods made with wheat flour depends on gluten for structure, those made with gluten-free flours will often require a thickener to keep them from crumbling. For this reason, many gluten-free baking recipes call for Xanthan Gum to replace the elasticity and texture of gluten.” (from thespruceeats.com)
Jennifer says
Was this ever so good!!!
Just started my gluten free eating and thanks to my sister found your web page.
I changed the glazed to a cream cheese frosting.
Audrey says
Hi Jennifer! I am so happy that you enjoyed it! I bet the cream cheese frosting was amazing on it. Please let me know if I can help you in any way in your new gluten-free journey.
Ashley F says
My brother in law has Celiac disease and this is a family favorite!
Audrey says
That makes me so happy to hear Ashley!
April says
This looks like a super yummy recipe. My mom is gluten-free so I need this one!
Audrey says
Thank you April! I hope you both enjoy it.
Heather says
This is AMAZING! I’ve tried making gluten free cinnamon rolls but they are super messy and time consuming. These taste just as good and took less than 10 min to prep. I used King Arthur’s all purpose gluten free flour. Even my husband who is hesitant of my gluten free bakes loves it, definitely a keeper, thank you!!
Audrey says
Hi Heather. Thank you so much! I am so happy that you enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake. You are so welcome! I love sharing what I make for my family.
Suzette says
Hi!! I started a ketogenic lifestyle 5 months ago and would love to try this recipe! Any idea if almond flour would work in place of the GF flour?
Audrey says
Hi Suzette! I think the almond flour will be too dense for this recipe. Take a look at my Paleo Muffins as they are made with almond flour. I’m working on a Paleo cinnamon roll muffin recipe.
Katie says
I used Bob’s gluten free and it turned out great!!
I’m wondering if storing it in the fridge might be better? I baked it in a glass dish but the lid won’t fit because the cake rised too high. Would the glaze and such keep better if I refrigerate this cake? I need it to last several days. Thanks so much for this delicious recipe!
Audrey says
Hi Katie. I am so glad that you made it and it turned out great! I have never stored it in the fridge before. If you do, you will probably want to heat it up a bit when you serve it. You are so welcome. I love sharing what I make for my family.
Valerie says
Made this today with Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 flour and it turned out great. It is delicious warm or cooled! My 8-year old celiac, who was a big fan of cinnamon rolls pre-diagnosis, loved it. Thank you so much for sharing–this recipe is a keeper!!
Audrey says
Hi Valerie! I am so glad that you and your son enjoyed it! It really makes my heart happy to hear that your son loved it! You are so welcome. I love sharing what I make for my family. I will be posting the recipe for gluten-free cinnamon roll muffins this week! ????
Bridget says
I made this and just about cried because they were so good. I haven’t had a cinnamon roll in years and have missed them so much since going GF. These are absolutely to die for!!!! Thank you so much!!
Audrey says
Thank you so much, Bridget! You just made my heart really happy. You are so welcome, I love sharing what I make for my family.????
Jen says
Thank you so much for making this recipe! We have a Christmas tradition of having cinnamon rolls but my mom has been going through chemotherapy, so understandably, she wasn’t up to making them. I’ve had to take over kitchen duty and I’m pretty new to cooking and baking so i wanted something that would be that would be a good “replacement” and not be too difficult.
Pretty sure a heavenly chorus rang out as soon as I took that first bite. I’ve been gluten free for over 10 years and I’ve had some really good foods but this was magical. My parents really liked it too.
The only difference is I used Featherlight flour mix. I forget who makes that one so I hope I’m not violating any copyrights or anything. I will be making it with pillsbury tomorrow though as that’s what we have available currently.
So, thank you for making this. 🙂
Audrey says
I am so glad that you enjoyed it Jen! That makes my heart so happy. Thank you so much! I have never tried Featherlight flour. I am so glad that it worked with the recipe. There are no copyrights when it comes to using a particular gluten-free flour. I just happen to really like and use the Pillsbury gluten-free flour. You are so welcome! I love sharing what I make for my family.
Deb says
I just bought Pillsbury flour but haven’t used it till today. I tried this cake (halved the recipe, because new gluten free recipes and flour make me nervous). Baked it in a 8 x 8 glass pan. It is fantastic! I haven’t had a cinnamon roll in years but this tasted very much like one (and the smell, yum). I didn’t make glaze. Never liked it on my cinnamon rolls. Thank you for a wonderful recipe. I will make 9×13 pan the next time. I also forwarded this recipe to a few friends. Just found your blog so off to check out your other recipes. Thank you.
Audrey says
Thank you so much Deb! You are so welcome. I love sharing what I make for my family. I am so happy that you enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake. Thank you so much for sharing it with your friends. I hope you find some more recipes you would like to try.????
Jukie says
I absolutely love this recipe. I have made this 3 times in the past 2 months. Everyone loves it at work. It’s too much for my husband and I to eat so I have cut small squares,wrapped in Saran wrappped and placed in small freezer containers. I throw it in my lunch bag from the freezer and enjoy it as a lunch desert. Amazing!
Audrey says
Thank you so much Jukie! This makes my heart so happy to hear.? I love sharing what I make for my family. I am so glad that you enjoyed it. Such a smart idea to freeze it!
Brandi says
I don’t usually make things with flour. I was not great at it even before being diagnosed celiac. Lol Can you at least give some kind of idea on what type of gf flour to use please? Is Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 cup something that would work? From what I’ve seen others talk about, certain flours just don’t work for certain things. Thank you in advance! I have been craving anything cinnamon roll like for over 3 years! ?
Audrey says
Hi Brandi! I usually use Gluten Free Mama’s almond flour blend with this cake. It has been out of stock lately, so I use Pillsbury gluten-free which is a cup for cup flour. I use the Pillsbury for just about everything. I buy it at Walmart for less than $5 for a 2 LB bag. I hope you enjoy the cake! It’s one of my favorites.
Deb says
If you try Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 baking flour, let us know how it turns out. I use this frequently because it is available in stores.
Audrey says
Hi Deb! I have never tried Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1, but a lot of my friends love it. I will have to see if I can find it in my local stores. Thanks for the recommendation.
Kim says
My daughter was diagnosed on Christmas Eve at the age of 4 with Celiac Disease. Since then, it has been an ongoing challenge to find recipes that are delicious and that others will eat. I have a large family with 6, and unfortunately holiday time is a time when we have 44 people. Nobody but I will bring GF to our celebration times. I made this cinnamon roll cake for Christmas, and it was a huge hit! Thank you!
Audrey says
Hi Kim, Thank you so much! This makes my heart so happy. I love sharing what I make for my family. I am so happy that you enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake.
Ellen says
Just make this and had to trying it before serve it on Christmas morning? Best cake ever! Thanks for sharing! I swapped the eggs for flax eggs and used almond milk (hubby can’t have eggs or dairy) Still turn out perfect. Keeper for sure?
Audrey says
Hi Ellen! I am so happy that you and your family enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake. It is my family’s favorite cake. I am so glad that you were able to use the flax eggs. I also use dairy-free milk when baking because my husband is also dairy-free. Thank you again for sharing you enjoyed the cake. It really made my day!
Leah says
I just made this and it was a success! Thank you!
I would like to serve the rest tomorrow – What is the best way to store this cake overnight? Fridge or room temperature?
Audrey says
Hi Leah! I am so happy that you enjoyed the cinnamon roll cake. You can store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature.
Rachel says
Do you think you can make the batter the night before (let’s say Christmas Eve) and then put it together and bake it the following morning?
Audrey says
Hi Rachel! I have never tried it, so I really can’t say. If you decide to try it, please let me know how it turns out. Sounds like an awesome idea!
Kari says
Hi Rachel. Did you end up making this the night before. How did it turn out?
Cindy Cooper says
I made this for our tailgate & it was delicious! No one knew it was gluten free either. Thanks!
Audrey says
That makes my heart so happy! Thank you! ?
Valerie says
Looks delicious, can’t wait to try. I love cinnamon rolls!
Lauren (@pinkonthecheek) says
I am not gluten-free, but I am a lover of all things cinnamon! Looks delish!
Audrey says
Thank you! If you are a cinnamon lover you would love this cake! You could always make it with regular cake flour.
Monika says
Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. It looks absolutely delicious

Thanks! It’s one of my all-time favorite cakes.
Perri says
These pictures are UNREAL and they sound so delicious. I wonder if I could mix up this recipe and make it vegan? Substitute eggs for apple sauce.. hmm wonder if they’d still come out as good as they look here! Thanks for the recipe.
Audrey says
Thank you so much! I’ve never tried an egg free version, but I do use apple sauce in my gluten-free baking often to help with moisture. It would definitely be worth a try! If you try it please let me know how it turns out.
Brenna @Crunchy Mountain Life says
