Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp plant milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
For the Filling
- 1 tbsp softened butter
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Glaze
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp plant milk
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and plant milk until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it’s easy to handle.
- Shape Dough: On a floured surface, roll or press the dough into a rectangle approximately 4 by 6 inches in size, making sure it’s evenly flattened.
- Add Filling: Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough surface. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly on top, covering the butter completely.
- Roll It Up: Starting from the short side, carefully roll the dough into a tight cinnamon roll shape, making sure the filling stays inside.
- Microwave: Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug. Place the cinnamon roll inside the mug, then microwave on high for 45 to 60 seconds, until the roll is puffed up and cooked through but not dry.
- Make Frosting: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and plant milk until smooth to form a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon roll and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Microwave times may vary depending on your device; start with 45 seconds and add more time if needed.
- Use any plant-based milk you prefer to keep this recipe dairy-free and vegan.
- You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar or maple sugar for a different flavor.
- Ensure the dough is not too sticky to make rolling easier.
- Enjoy the cinnamon roll immediately as it tastes best warm and fresh from the microwave.
