Sugar Free Gluten Free CINNAMIN ROLLS


Made these this morning...pretty tasty. For anyone interested, I replaced the flour the recipe called for with 1/2 my gluten free blend, and 1/2 sweet rice flour. Also, I used coconut sugar for the rolls, and agave for the filling and frosting. I'll post the recipe once it's perfected (which it ALMOST is!), it's just slightly more grainy than the average person would want. I totally ate two of these already...so they are really quite good! But yeah, my whole goal here with these recipes is to make them so basically EVERYONE would enjoy them. Not just gluten/sugar free peeps like me. But seriously- if you want to step in a good direction when making normal cinnamon rolls...replace the sugar with coconut sugar, and make the frosting with agave! So much healthier than normal sugar and powdered sugar. And it tastes JUST as good. 1/3 cup agave + 2 tbs cinnamon for the filling.....1/2 block cream cheese + dash of vanilla + agave to taste for the frosting. I'm NOT even lying. The flavor/taste is JUST as good as any cinnamon roll I've ever had. I'm just perfecting the bread consistency to be less grainy :)

Need a quick present for someone you just haven't been able to figure out anything for? Look at last post.

Ok, Dan. if you use coconut sugar is it really sugar free? I mean, I know it's better, but isn't it sugar? Can you really have as much coconut sugar as you want? Is it really not the same thing? Other than that- I am so thrilled for you that you've really mastered this cooking with lyme! What a journey to get here, eh? I just get so happy for you everytime I see you made something new. Everyone deserves to enjoy what they eat. I really believe that! I really want to try something at christmas!
