Fast & Easy Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls

These Fast & Easy Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls use Pamela's Gluten Free Flour Blend to create a tender dough that rises with quick-rise yeast. The dough is rolled with a classic cinnamon and brown sugar filling, then baked until golden. A cream cheese frosting with butter, vanilla, and lemon juice tops the warm rolls, offering familiar cinnamon roll flavors in a gluten-free version suited for home bakers.
