Blueberry Rolls of the Gluten Free Variety

I kept thinking about Blueberry Rolls. A friend shared them on her blog a few years ago and when I saw the recipe I knew I wanted to try them. Ever since, every so often, I have this urge to make Blueberry Rolls.

My next question was, “Where do I find a gluten-free cinnamon roll recipe?”

WELL. Google, of course.

I found this Cinnabon Copycat recipe over on a gluten free blog called Recreating Happiness.

I printed it right out.

If you are interested, go check out her post. She even has a nifty video showing some tips and tricks for working with the dough.

Gluten-free dough is just a different thing than lovely, yeasty wheat flour dough.

It’s sensitive and it does not have the elasticity that regular bread dough has.

Rolling it out between plastic wrap works wonderfully.

I used the dough recipe from Recreating Happiness, but I did a blueberry filling and a different glaze than she did. I’ll share that below.

If you just want cinnamon rolls, you can stick with her recipe.

I melt 1-2 T. of butter in the bottom of my pie plate that I’m going to bake my rolls in. It adds extra yumminess.

I melted my butter and sprinkled cinnamon on it before I added the blueberry mixture. It makes gooey rolls. I do this for regular wheat flour rolls.

HOWEVER, when I make these again I think I will try using softened butter.

With the softness and harder handling of the gluten-free dough, the melted butter just makes it trickier yet.

Blueberry filling!

My regular blueberry rolls usually end up rather a mess when it comes to rolling them up and slicing them.

These were worse!

BUT WAIT FOR IT.

THEY WERE SO GOOD.

SO GOOD.

If you are wanting beautiful rolls, well mine weren’t. They weren’t the huge, bakery perfect rolls.

But they were delicious.

I glazed them when they were warm and they reminded me of my favorite apple fritters from a grocery store in my hometown. But blueberry. Not apple.

I seriously want to make these again. I’m so happy with how they turned out!
