Chebe Gluten Free Cinnamon Roll Ups Mix

Let's face facts. All gluten free processed food products are created to satisfy cravings. Gluten free pizza, donuts, cupcakes, baguettes, pumpkin pie, lasagna, cheesecake, and mongolian beef are not gonna make themselves. These products spring out of the raw, visceral need to get our sweet, salty, fatty cravings met.

Thank gawsh for companies like Glutino, GF Pantry, Bob's Red Mill, Authentic Foods, PF Chang's, Whole Foods, Amy's, Chebe, and countless others, who have developed good-tasting gluten free products and mixes so that we can eat hormonally in peace without having a total-body auto-immune response. I salute you, makers of gluten free junk food! May you develop gluten free begnets and french dips in my lifetime!!

There are only so many years I can go without eating a cinnamon roll (are you listening, Cinnabon???). After 9 years had passed, I pounced on this mix from Chebe when I saw it. I like Chebe. They brand themselves as "unusual," which resonates with me. This mix is certainly unusual, especially in texture, but it was satisfying in every way. In fact, the two giant cinnamon buns that the bag yielded completely ruined my latest schmactressy diet attempt. My only complaint was that they had so many recipe variations on the back of the bag, but no clear instructions on how to make traditional cinnamon buns. I just figured it out for myself, since I'm scrappy.


Here's a recipe for some icing to drizzle on top, should you finally give in to your 9-year long cinnamon bun craving.

Cinnamon Roll Icing

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tablespoon Karo's corn syrup (light or dark)
2 tablespoons milk
1/8 tsp vanilla
1 tsp of butter

Melt all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Drizzle hot icing on hot cinnamon bun fresh out of the oven. Gain five pounds.
