Hailey Bieber-Inspired Cottage Cheese Cinnamon Rolls (Gluten-Free)
Prep: 15–20 minutes
Cook: 25–30 minutes
Total: ~45–50 minutes
Servings: 6–8 rolls
Ingredients
Dough:
• 1 1/4 cups cottage cheese (blend until smooth, like from Good Culture)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 3/4 cups gluten-free 1:1 flour
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• ~1 tbsp milk (only if needed for moisture)
Filling:
• 3 tbsp softened butter
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1–2 tsp cinnamon
For Baking
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (poured around rolls)
• Optional: extra butter + brown sugar + cinnamon on top
Instructions
1. Prep dough
Blend cottage cheese until completely smooth with a food processor.
In a bowl, mix blended cottage cheese, vanilla, and maple syrup. Save 2 tbsp of this mixture for the “icing”.
Add gluten-free flour and baking powder.
Mix until a soft dough forms (add a little milk if too dry).
2. Roll + fill
Roll dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle.
Spread softened butter evenly over the dough.
Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon across the surface.
3. Shape rolls
Roll dough tightly into a log.
Slice into 6–8 rolls and place into a greased baking dish.
4. Add cream
Pour heavy cream around the rolls (this keeps them super soft and gooey).
Optional: sprinkle extra butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon on top.
5. Bake
Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, until golden and set.
Top with the leftover cottage cheese mixture and enjoy !!
Notes
• Blended cottage cheese = soft, moist dough (no yeast needed)
• Heavy cream makes them ultra gooey + bakery-style
• Best served warm
