Let’s Make it Together

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. The mixture should look like a fluffy cloud.

Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine dairy-free milk, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and maple syrup. Stir until mixed well; it should smell sweetly inviting.

Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Stir gently using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing; we want airy rolls!

Scoop onto Baking Sheet: Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet—about two inches apart—for even cooking. For more inspiration, check out this Cooking Tips recipe.
