Description

This Irresistible One Minute Cinnamon Roll in a Mug is a quick and easy recipe perfect for satisfying your cinnamon roll cravings without the wait. Made with simple ingredients combined into a soft dough, rolled with cinnamon and brown sugar, and cooked quickly in the microwave, it delivers a warm, fluffy cinnamon roll topped with a sweet glaze in just minutes.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Filling: Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough surface. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly on top, covering the butter completely.
  4. Roll It Up: Starting from the short side, carefully roll the dough into a tight cinnamon roll shape, making sure the filling stays inside.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
