Gluten Free Cinnamon Roll Muffins have all the flavors of a cinnamon roll in a gluten free muffin.
One of the things that I miss the most since going gluten free are cinnamon rolls. The soft and delicious bakery style, covered in frosting, kind of cinnamon rolls.
I can make a good gluten free cinnamon roll. I have a gluten free cinnamon roll recipe that I love. But it isn’t the same as the gluten filled version. Without the gluten you can’t get quite the same texture.
One of the ways that I have learned to get my cinnamon roll fix is with these gluten free muffins.
These muffins don’t have the texture of a cinnamon roll, but they have all the flavor. They are also super easy to make. In thirty minutes or less you can have a delicious gluten free muffin.
They also have frosting! Frosting makes everything better.
Can I freeze gluten free muffins?
Yes, gluten free muffins freeze great. I love to make a double batch of muffins and freeze them. They make great easy breakfasts, lunch, snacks, and even desserts.

Can I use a different gluten free blend than the recipe calls for?
That question is complicated. Sometimes a different gluten free blend will work. Other times it will now.
For example in gluten free brownies and in gluten free banana bread it makes a difference. Different blends turn out different.
If you use a different blend than the recipe calls for your results may vary. It may turn out great or it may not.
