It’s been over two years since it became necessary to convert recipes in my household to being gluten free. For the most part with some trial and a lot of error, I’ve been able to make most things gluten free and still enjoyable. Most things….but not cinnamon rolls. No matter how many I made with all sorts of modifications to my original recipe and trying all sorts of different flours, the end results were essentially the same…little cinnamon flavored hockey pucks.

So today we offer a suggestion that will be both simple to prepare and tasty on Thanksgiving or on any other Thursday for supper.
