Description
This vegan cinnamon roll mug cake is the perfect quick fix for a sugar craving. Using 7 ingredients you probably already have on hand, this single-serve cinnamon bun is ready in just 5 minutes. No need to turn on the oven, because this cinnamon roll is made in the microwave!
Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Roll Dough
- 5–6 tablespoons all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
- 1/4 banana, mashed
- 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk (I used almond milk)
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 tablespoon almond butter
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Cinnamon Glaze
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon almond butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Make the cinnamon roll dough. In a mixing bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth. Whisk in the non-dairy milk, maple syrup, almond butter, baking powder, and salt. Then stir in the 5 tablespoons of flour until well incorporated. The dough will be a bit sticky, but if it is too sticky to work with, stir in additional flour 1/2 tablespoon at a time.
- Make the cinnamon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, almond butter, and cinnamon. *
- Assemble the cinnamon roll. Dust your surface with flour and press the dough into a long flat rectangle that is roughly 1/4 in thin. Spread the cinnamon glaze evenly on the dough. Roll the dough lengthwise to form a cinnamon roll.
- Microwave the cinnamon roll. Lightly grease the inside of a microwave safe mug. Place the cinnamon roll into the mug, pressing it down with your fingers if needed to make it wider. Microwave for 35-45 seconds (this will depending on the strength of your microwave) until fully cooked.
- Enjoy! Eat the cinnamon roll directly out of the mug, or take it out and enjoy on a plate. I cut my mug cake cinnamon roll in half to make two smaller cinnamon rolls (and ended up eating both of them myself).
Notes
* Double the measurements if you want some extra cinnamon glaze for the top of your cinnamon rolls!
