Low FODMAP Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls are an indulgent treat. They are rich with butter and sugar and the cream cheese frosting truly gilds the lily. Cinnamon rolls should be a bit yeasty, and springy, with a pronounced brown sugar/cinnamon flavor and our low FODMAP version hits all these points. Toppings vary from light glazes to American-style buttercreams, but our research told us that you all like Cream Cheese Frosting, so that is what we created for you. Lactose-free, of course. There is a fair amount of fat in these Low FODMAP Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls as well; always eat to your tolerances.
For the Cinnamon Rolls: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a flat paddle add the flour, sugar, yeast, baking powder and salt and mix on low speed briefly to combine.
Make the Filling: During the last few minutes of rising, make the filling. If your butter is soft enough you can do this by hand (beating vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula) but you can also do this with your mixer: cream the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla together until thoroughly blended and soft enough to spread.
Assemble the Rolls: Position rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Coat the inside of a 13-inch by 9-inch (33 cm by 23 cm) ceramic or ovenproof-glass baking pan with nonstick spray; set aside.
For the Frosting: Place confectioners’ sugar in your mixer bowl fitted with flat paddle attachment (or use hand-held mixer). Beat in the cream cheese, butter and vanilla extract and keep beating on low-medium speed until super smooth and creamy. It should be thick but spreadable.
