Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees
Set out 1 and a ½ sticks of butter to soften. (Click here for tips to soften quickly) Add psyllium husk and water to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer. Stir to combine, and within 30 second it will become a gel
Add the rest of the ingredients for the cinnamon rolls and mix on low speed until combined (do not add the ingredients for the filling or frosting)
The dough shouldn’t be dry or wet, instead, it should be slightly tacky to the touch but not stick to your hands.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough into a large ball. Add a dusting of flour as needed until you have a round dough ball that doesn't stick to you hands
Roll the dough out into a large rectangle about ⅛ inch think
Once you get the dough rolled out, you’ll want to make the filling. Place the softened stick of butter in a small mixing bowl and add in 1 cup packed brown sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Using the back of a spoon, mash the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together until it’s all incorporated. Then spread the cinnamon sugar mixture over the dough
Now it’s time to turn these babies into gooey cinnamon rolls! Starting at the the long edge of the rectangle, use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 1.5 inch strips (see pic above for reference)
Starting at the bottom of one of the strips, start rolling the dough onto itself until you have a cinnamon roll. Repeat this process for the remaining strips of dough (see pic above for reference)
Place cinnamon rolls in a 9x13 greased baking dish and pop them into the oven at 350 degrees for about 18-23 minutes. You want the outer edges to be golden brown while the inside is still a bit undone for the best taste and texture! While the cinnamon rolls bake, make the cream cheese icing
For the icing, place ½ block (4 ounces) cream cheese and ½ stick butter in a large bowl, and using a mixer, cream the two together. Then add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and mix to combine. Add in 2 cups powdered sugar ½ cup at a time, mixing until it’s all incorporated. This cream cheese icing is perfect with these homemade gluten free cinnamon rolls and tastes like Cinnabon
You can warm the cream cheese frosting in the microwave for 1 minute and pour it over the gluten-free cinnamon buns, or you can spread it on as is for a thicker consistency! Both ways taste amazing!
