These Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect combination of two of my FAVORITE classics. Soft, pillowy cinnamon rolls are filled with roasted peaches and topped with a buttery oat crumble, bringing all the flavors of a warm peach cobbler into every bite. Finished with a smooth cream cheese frosting, these rolls are the ultimate indulgence for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
This recipe takes traditional cinnamon rolls to the next level with the sweet, caramelized flavor of roasted peaches. The oat crumble adds a delightful crunch, perfectly complementing the tender dough and creamy frosting. Even better, this recipe uses a gluten-free bread mix, making it perfect for those with dietary restrictions without compromising on texture or taste.
Fresh, ripe peaches are the star of this recipe, making these rolls an excellent choice during peach season. Roasting the peaches instead of sauteeing them or using canned peaches allows for the peaches to still have a bite to them. Whether you’re hosting a summer brunch, holiday gathering, or simply want to treat your family to something special, these cinnamon rolls are sure to impress.

- Toss to coat and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast for 15–20 minutes until caramelized and tender.
- Let cool slightly, then dice into small chunks. Set aside.
-
Make the Dough
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine 1 ¼ cups (300 g) warm water, ½ cup (110 g) unsalted butter and 1 tsp apple cider vinegar. Place in the microwave for 1 and ½ minutes until warm but not boiling hot. The butter may not be completely melted but that is fine.
- In a stand mixer bowl combine 1 (16 oz) bag Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Bread Mix, ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar, 4 ½ tsp instant yeast, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda and 1 tsp kosher salt. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
- Add the water, unsalted butter and apple cider vinegar mixture to the dry ingredients. Begin to mix slowly with a dough hook attachment for about 3-5 minutes.
- Stop the mixer and add in 1 large egg and 1 egg white and mix for about 5 minutes on a medium to high speed. The dough will be very sticky.
- Allow the dough to rest for at least 10 minutes (for an even more pliable dough rest in the refrigerator for about an hour).
- After the dough has rested, lay down a generous amount of cornstarch onto a plastic wrap covered countertop. Plop the sticky dough out onto the cornstarch.
- Fold dough over twice then using a rolling pin to create a 9x13 rectangle that is about 1” thick.
-
Prepare the Filling
- In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup (100 g) packed light brown sugar, 2 Tbps ground cinnamon, and ¼ tsp nutmeg.
- Set aside with ¼ cup (55 g) softened butter for spreading. You can spread the softened butter or melt the butter completely then brush it across the dough.
- Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar filling mixture across the dough.
- Scatter the diced roasted peaches over the filling and press lightly to adhere.
-
Shape the Rolls
- Turn your oven on to 170 degrees and allow the oven to preheat.
- Using a pizza cutter begin to measure 1 ½ inch strips of dough and slice the dough vertically.
- Once you have each row sliced begin to roll each strip of dough as tightly as possible.
- Place rolls in a 13”x19” ceramic dish. Turn off the oven and place dish inside.
- Let the dough rise for 30–45 minutes, until slightly raised or until they have doubled in size.
-
Prepare the Oat Crumble
- In a bowl, mix ½ cup (60 g) gluten-free flour, ½ cup (50 g) gluten-free quick oats, ¼ cup (50 g) packed light brown sugar and ½ tsp ground cinnamon.
- Cut in ¼ cup (56 g) cold cubed butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
- Remove proofed cinnamon rolls from the oven.
-
Bake the Rolls
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Sprinkle the oat crumble over the top of the rolls.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a bowl, beat together 4 oz (113 g) softened cream cheese and ¼ cup (56 g) softened butter using a hand mixer. Mix for about 3 minutes.
