Dairy Free Cinnamon Rolls



Wasn't certain how they would turn out, but they actually were pretty delicious.  The recipe is here.  While dairy free and tasty, I really doubt they are healthy.  But I've been wanting one and since I've eliminated dairy, I can't just get one at the West End Bakery even though their cinnamon rolls are the best ever.  I've had 10 days of complete dairy elimination, I started about a month ago, but had a really hard time not having cheese.  Milk, no problem, I just picked up some almond milk.  But I couldn't completely eliminate cheese, I went lighter on the cheese, but there really isn't a replacement for cheese so it was hard.  But about a week and a half ago, I decided that I really needed to have some control in order to see if dairy is what is causing Brie's diaper rash, since we have been washing her diapers extra careful now to make sure ALL soap is gone and we went through many loads to find out how much soap was the appropriate amount of soap to put in the wash.

Anyway, so back to the cinnamon roll making...

Brie and I had an awesome time.  She giggled while rolling out the dough, check out the amateur video below of it.  I had to video it, because she was loving it so much, I wanted to catch her giggles.


She added a lot of love and drool, so I'm not certain these can be shared with the neighbors...

  1. could the diaper rash be candida? i know a few people that dealt with persistent diaper rash and it turned out to be a yeast problem/infection. good luck!

  3. super cute video. and yeast is the typical culprit of diaper rash. moisture aggravates it, too. good luck w/ the diary free life. i found that i felt better when i didn't eat dairy. but i can only handle so much elimination. :)

  5. I'll check with Brie's doctor about the candida. The doctor thought that it might be eczema more so than diaper rash because it wasn't in the creases, she mostly just had it where the diaper rubbed her thigh and on her bum. So we thought maybe the soap for her diapers were irritating her, now we've moved on to the dairy elimination and we'll see where it goes. Thanks!
