Ingredients for dough:
Wet
- In a bread machine, add all of the wet ingredients first.
- Add the dry ingredients and turn it on in the “Dough” setting.
- Set the timer for 20 minutes and let it do its thing.
- When time is up, take the dough out and roll it out to an oblong shape (see image above).
- Add a layer of softened butter all over the surface.
- Then add a layer of sugar (I use coconut sugar).
- Top it off with a layer of ground cinnamon. Optional: add a 4th layer, which could be ground or crushed nuts like almonds, pecans or walnuts.
- Roll up the dough the long way so the roll is longer than fatter.
- Cut the roll in half. Cut each half into halves. You should have 4 small rolls now.
- Cut each small roll into thirds to have a total of 12 cinnamon rolls.
- Place them on a greased or lined cookie sheet or tray.
- Cover them with a rag and set the timer to let them rise for 45 minutes.
- Once they 45 minutes are up, they should be about double in size.
- Turn the oven on to 350 degrees and put the cinnamon rolls in the oven (without the rag that was covering them).
- Set the timer to 30 minutes. When the 30 minutes are done, keep an eye on them. They should be golden brown, but not too doughy and not too dark.
- Remove from oven and cool for 5-10 minutes.
- If desired, butter or maple syrup or cream cheese frosting can be slathered on top. For the Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe {Free Printable}, click on the link.

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls Recipe with Variations
I use organic coconut sugar in all the variations below.
Variation 1: Follow the exact instructions, nd use store-bought cream cheese frosting. I know, it’s fattening, etc, but it is easy to use, it isn’t used often, and it’s pretty delicious.
Variation 2: Instead of using 3 cups of white flour, I use 1 cup of oat flour (throw one cup of old fashioned oats in the blender), 1 cup white flour, and one cup white wheat.
Variation 3: Use 1 cup oat flour, 1.5 cups white flour, and .5 cup coconut flour. Instead of an egg, soak 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds in 3 tablespoons of water until it gels and throw it in the mix like you would an egg.*
Variation 4 (haven’t tried this yet, so I’m not sure how it would turn out): GLUTEN FREE Use 1 cup oat flour, 1.5 cup ground gluten free rice chex cereal (or corn chex cereal), and .5 cup coconut flour. Same egg substitution for egg as variation 3.
*Variation 3 is the closest to making this recipe VEGAN, but I still have to figure out how to substitute the powdered milk to make it completely vegan. Suggestions are accepted. 🙂
