Instructions

Step 1

To make the dough: <a href="/XZFHRHHF">Heat </a>the milk, canola oil, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium <a href="/XZFHRHHF">heat.</a> Bring to a <a href="/GFSF4J5F">simmer </a>and set aside to <a href="/GZFHJC5K">cool </a>to room temperature. Do not boil. This will not take very long. Your milk needs to be between 100-115 degrees to activate the y<a href="/HF7TLMS7">east. </a>If you t<a href="/B52FHCF2">urn o</a>n the tap water and let it run over your wrist, when the water feels the same temperature as your skin, this is the temperature you want your milk to be if you do not have a thermometer.

Step 2

Once your milk is the right temperature, <a href="/DRM2WPZ4">stir </a>in the <a href="/HF7TLMS7">yeast </a>and set aside until it <a href="/FZB4VFPV">foams </a>up and looks like the above picture.

3

Step 3

In a large bowl, <a href="/GV3SK283">whisk </a>together the coconut flour, cornstarch, oat flour (I used my son's gluten free breakfast oats and put them in the coffee grinder), xanthan gum, and <a href="/DPSVTKVY">salt </a>until they become one beautiful flour with no lumps.

4

Step 4

<a href="/DRM2WPZ4">Stir </a>the <a href="/HF7TLMS7">yeast </a>mixture, eggs, and vanilla into the flour . When you are finished it should look like the above picture. A little bit giggly but not wet. It needs to be pliable but will not hold together as much as glutenous dough. If it seems too wet add in about 1 tsp of cornstarch at a time until you get the right consistency.

5

Step 5

Cover with a clean <a href="/QQVZX64Y">dish </a>towel and rise for 1 hour in a <a href="/FVYNJCCW">warm </a>place.

6

Step 6

Grease a large piece of parchment paper and sprinkle with cornstarch.

7

Step 7

Gently <a href="/LTNN8R88">roll </a>your dough into a large rectangle.

8

Step 8

Lets make the filling: <a href="/64W3NS5R">Melt </a>the butter and spread evenly onto the dough. Next, sprinkle on the <a href="/D434P8MH">brown </a>sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and walnuts.

9

Step 9

Lets <a href="/LTNN8R88">roll </a>it up: Starting with side farthest away from you, pick up the parchment paper (just to help <a href="/LTNN8R88">roll </a>up the log) and start <a href="/LTNN8R88">rolling </a>the dough up tightly to make one long, gooey, cinnamony log.

10

Step 10

When you get to the end pinch the seam together.

11

Step 11

<a href="/64W3NS5R">Melt </a>another 4-5 Tbsp of butter and pour into 2 pie pans or a large b<a href="/RNT367Z2">aking s</a>heet.

12

Step 12

Now this is a little trick I learned from gluten free girl. <a href="/3JDX2Q84">Slice </a>your cinnamon <a href="/LTNN8R88">rolls </a>with dental floss! Yes, dental floss. <a href="/XZBDDD5G">Cut </a>1 to 1 1/2 in. cinnamon <a href="/LTNN8R88">rolls </a>and place on your <a href="/RNT367Z2">baking </a>sheet. An easy way to do this is to <a href="/XZBDDD5G">cut </a>the log in half, then half both of those and so on...

13

Step 13

Cover again and let rise another 45 minutes to an hour. If you're in a hurry the recipe would still work o.k. without letting it rise the 2nd time.

14

Step 14

<a href="/H3S4YV46">Preheat </a>the oven to 350 degrees. <a href="/RNT367Z2">Bake </a>for 15-20 minutes or until they just start t<a href="/B52FHCF2">urning b</a><a href="/D434P8MH">rown. </a>I barely overcooked mine, so keep an eye on them.

15

Step 15

Let's <a href="/RP8LCDPZ">ice </a>those babies: Just <a href="/GV3SK283">whisk </a>all the ingredients together and pour the <a href="/RP8LCDPZ">icing </a>over them while they are hot. The <a href="/RP8LCDPZ">icing </a>will be thick but pour-able.

16

Step 16

Just a note, in the picture I used a dairy-free <a href="/36R8LV5G">store </a>bought <a href="/RP8LCDPZ">icing,</a> but I would definitely recommend the pioneer womans <a href="/RP8LCDPZ">icing.</a>
