These gluten free cinnamon rolls are so good that they taste JUST like regular rolls! They're soft and pillowy with a gooey cinnamon sugar filling and a sweet vanilla bean cream cheese icing on top. This recipe also only requires one flour mix and they don't come out gritty or mushy AT ALL! It's simply an absolutely delicious cinnamon roll.
