The Kitchn: Easy, gluten-free cinnamon rolls are Sunday morning goals
Serving gluten-free cinnamon buns
The buns bake up soft and tender, with slightly browned centers. You should expect some cracking in the cinnamon buns, rather than the smooth, stretchy exterior that you may have come to expect in traditional recipes. Do not fear -- the inside is tender and moist. Give the buns just a few minutes to cool on a rack after taking them out of the oven before spooning on the glaze. This keeps the glaze from melting off of the buns, while remaining warm enough to smother the tops of the buns with sweet icing.
