I’m pretty confident that cinnamon rolls are one of the best memories about childhood, right? Whether you ate them in the form of POPPIN from a can or, like me, your grandma made them for every single breakfast gathering and you ate your weight in them, only to feel AWFUL but also AMAZING afterwards because, UHHH, SO MUCH CREAM CHEESE ICING, we all have memories of swirly, spicy-sweet rolls.
When I asked Grandma FFF for her cinnamon rolls recipe, you know what she said?
“I don’t have one. I just go by feel.”
UGH. Typical awesome-at-life-grandma who doesn’t need to write anything down causing Taylor to be grandma cinnamon-roll-less for the rest of her adult life.
Internet BFF’s. This gluten free cinnamon rolls recipe though? It’s LIKE THATTTTTTTTTT. It might even be FLUFFIER than the almond flour paleo cinnamon rolls!

How to make vegan cinnamon rolls
Making vegan cinnamon rolls is exactly like regular cinnamon rolls, except we’re using dairy-free versions of key ingredients like butter, cream cheese and yogurt!
You need to mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Then, the wet ingredients into a measuring cup and microwave it until it’s JUST 110-120 degrees. DO NOT GO HOTTER or you will KILL your yeast and then your dairy free cinnamon rolls won’t rise and you will BE SAD.
Mix it all together and let it sit for a bit before rolling it out, spreading it with a THICK layer of buttery goodness and crusting it with the perfect balance of sweet sugar and spicy cinnamon.
Cut-cut-cut time! I like to use dental floss to cut these dairy free gluten free vegan cinnamon rolls, because it’s makes PERFECT slices.
You’re almost there! Just give that dough a little rise time in a warm place and then you can bake, frost and EATTTTTTTTT.
Pro tip: turn your oven to 200 degrees, then turn it off and stick this vegan cinnamon roll recipe in there. PERFECT temperature for MAXIMUM fluffy, soft RISING action.
Has the probiotic suspense been killing you?
Lemme introduce you to Just Thrive Probiotic!
AKA: The probiotic that has actually changed our lives. Mostly Mr. FFF, since he struggles with MAJOR IBS. But, since we’re a package deal and his tummy/bowel issues affect both of us, it HAS changed both our lives (make sure you check out the giveaway at the bottom of the post!)
Just Thrive is the first and only 100% spore based probiotic that arrives alive in the small intestine and produces antioxidants! Most probiotics on the market today are made of lactobacillus and bifidobacteria which aren’t the greatest in the “stomach surviving” and “gut colonizing” departments. This is why many people find common probiotics ineffective.
Mr. FFF was in this category. Through our 5 years of marriage, we have tried A LOT OF THEM. Nothing helped. Still terrible IBS and spending hours upon hours in the bathroom daily. <– We’re adults here. We can real talk about stuff like this.
Just Thrive has a 21-day life cycle in the gut, where most probiotics just pass through like food. It can A-L-S-O reverse leaky gut in 30 days. <–!!!
It also doesn’t need to be refrigerated. When you think about, why do other probiotics need this? If they can’t stay alive at room temperature, what are they doing in our 98-degree bodies? YOU KNOW?
Facts are great and I want you to have them so you can be informed about your health! But, you guys, real-life stories are better.
He was skeptical at first, but Mr. FFF is literally a new person since taking Just Thrive regularly!! His digestion is SO much better, his bathroom times have been cut down and his bowels are healthier and he feels SO MUCH BETTER.
He even ate dairy products on your recent Dominican Republic vacation without feeling any negative side effects. That is SERIOUSLY amazing, since those things usually send him running for a bathroom within 10 minutes of eating!
Better yet, Just Thrive can withstand heat up to 455 degrees so you can BAKE WITH IT!
Yep. The probiotic possibilities are ENDLESS.
Add them to some eggless chocolate chip cookies or paleo sweet potato brownies or, like today, these easy dairy free gluten free vegan cinnamon rolls!
Honestly, just so pumped about finding this product and I want YOU to experience a life with healthy guts too! <3
Anddd what better place to start than face-planting into a stack of these ooey-gooey-covered-in-cream-cheese dairy free gluten free vegan cinnamon rolls?
Healthy guts filled with yummy cinnamon rolls. Winning at LIFE.
Ingredients
For the cinnamon rolls:
- 1 1/4 Cups Non GMO corchstarch (176g)*
- 1/2 Cup Oat flour, GF if needed (60g)
- 6 Tbsp White rice flour (56g)
- 2 tsp Xantham gum (make sure it's a vegan brand)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Red star platinum yeast (almost one package - don't use the whole package)
- 3 Capsules Just Thrive Probiotic
- 6 Tbsp Water
- 3 Tbsp Agave
- 2 Tbsp Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 3 Tbsp Dairy-free butter
- 1/4 Cup Dairy-free plain yogurt, at room temperature
- 1/4 Cup Unsweetened applesauce, at room temperature
For the filling:
- 4 Tbsp Dairy-free butter, softened to room temperature
- 4 Tbsp Coconut sugar
- 1 Tbsp Monkfruit (or sugar)
- 1 Tbsp Ground cinnamon
For the frosting:
- 6 Tbsp Dairy-free cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 Cup Sugar free powdered sugar (or regular)
- 2 Tbsp Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Once heated, turn it off. This will be where you let your buns rise.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients - the cornstarch, oat flour, rice flour, xantham gum, salt and yeast. Gently open the probiotic capsules and stir the powder inside into the mixture.
- In a microwave safe, measuring cup, heat the water, agave, almond milk and butter until it reaches 110-120 degrees F. You don’t want it hotter than that or it will kill the yeast. Add the mixture into the bowl with the flour, along with the yogurt and applesauce. Stir until the yogurt is well mixed and the dough is soft, and pretty sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (I use cornstarch) and knead for 3-4 minutes, until it just comes together. You'll need to keep adding cornstarch to the surface, a little at a time, so the dough doesn't stick. Don't knead too long, or they won't be as fluffy! Spray the bowl that it was in with cooking spray and place it back inside to let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Once the dough has rested, roll it on a lightly floured surface to a 14x8 inch rectangle. Spread the butter from the filling all over it.
- In a small bowl, mix together the coconut sugar, monkfruit and cinnamon. Spread all over the dough using your fingers to really rub it in.
- TIGHTLY roll the dough up and cut into 11 bigger buns, or 12 smaller. You can use a very sharp knife or, my favorite, dental floss. Just slide the floss under the dough, and then cross each side over top of each other at the top of the roll and pull down to make a smooth slice.
- Spray a 9 inch circular baking dish (I used a pie dish) with cooking spray and place the rolls inside. Cover lightly with tinfoil and let the buns rise in the heated oven for 90 minutes.
- Once risen, remove the buns from the oven and heat the oven to 375°. Bake the rolls for 20-22 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Then, lightly cover with tinfoil to prevent too much browning, and bake for an additional 6-10 minutes.
- While the buns bake, whisk together the softened cream cheese, vanilla, powdered sugar and almond milk until smooth.
- Pour the glaze over the buns and serve immediately!

Cassie Autumn Tran says
Cinnamon rolls that are good for your gut?! How can I pass this up?! I’m SO thrilled that I’ve finally found a delicious gluten free and vegan cinnamon roll recipe. Most of the cinnamon roll recipes include gluten, which isn’t a bad thing, but it limits my options because I have a few friends who are allergic to gluten. Anyways, I also have been looking for a really high-quality probiotic as well! Glad that you introduced me to Just Thrive!
Taylor Kiser says
You NEED this probiotic! Literally amazing! And the cinnamon rolls 😉
Cindy Rotimatic says

Taylor Kiser says

I get the same answer from my grandma, finally had to just get in the kitchen with her and start measuring and documenting! Great rolls, Taylor!
Taylor Kiser says
Oh grandmas! Thanks friend!

Taylor Kiser says
You NEED Just Thrive then! It’s amazing!!
Amanda says
I was reading that the red star platinum yeast is not gluten free. Not sure I am looking at the right yeast?
Taylor Kiser says
Hi Amanda, thank you so much for letting me know – I had no idea! I’m taking gluten free out of the title now.

Where did the recipe for these “Easy Dairy free Gluten Free Vegan Cinnamon Rolls” go?
Taylor Kiser says
It’s at the bottom of the page!
Diana Wilson says
I’m not sure what’s happening with this page, but it’s not here. I’ve tried numerous GF Cinnamon Bun recipes and this was THE ONE. Came back to this site to make them again and it’s not here 😐 Is there another link you have it posted to?
Taylor Kiser says
It’s definitely there at the bottom of the page. If you can’t see it -are you using an ad blocker?
Diana Wilson says
Oh man! That was it! *facepalm* I see it now THANK YOU. I look forward now to making these again! (especially now that my husband has gone ahead and made a non-GF cinnamon bun recipe and the house smells delicious) Thanks again 🙂
Taylor Kiser says
You’re so welcome!!! All good 🙂
Olivia says
Hey! Do I have to use the probiotic?
Taylor Kiser says
Hey Olivia! No, you don’t.
