Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons milk

Optional

  • Glaze of choice (powdered sugar mixed with milk or cream cheese frosting)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, mix the flour, sugar, and cinnamon thoroughly to ensure even cinnamon flavor throughout the dough.
  2. Add Milk: Pour the milk into the dry mixture and stir until a smooth batter forms without lumps, making sure it’s well combined but not overmixed.
  3. Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute until the dough has risen and set, resembling a freshly baked cinnamon roll texture.
  4. Add Glaze: If desired, prepare a quick glaze using powdered sugar mixed with a bit of milk or cream cheese frosting, then drizzle over the warm cinnamon roll in the mug for extra sweetness and richness.

Notes

  • Use a microwave-safe mug to prevent cracking or accidents.
  • Adjust the cinnamon and sugar quantity per taste for a milder or stronger cinnamon flavor.
  • The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your microwave’s power output.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute milk with half-and-half or add a drop of vanilla extract.
  • The glaze is optional but recommended for an authentic cinnamon roll taste.
