Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling Ingredients
- 1 apple, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the rolls evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to create the dry base of your dough.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, coconut oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Form Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Roll Out Dough: Lightly dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour and roll the dough out into a rectangle shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Add Filling: Evenly spread the diced apple and brown sugar over the entire surface of the rolled dough.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one of the longer edges into a log, then cut it into 12 equal pieces to form the rolls.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the rolls cut side up into a greased baking dish or pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors settle and make handling easier.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is not too wet or dry; adjust with small amounts of almond milk or flour as needed.
- You can substitute coconut oil with vegan butter for a richer flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the rolls cleanly and prevent squishing.
- Let the rolls cool before glazing or serving to avoid breakage.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
