Notes

  •  
  • Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
  • Use a standard-size mug for this recipe. The large mug will make the cinnamon roll flat and hard.
  • Don’t skip coating the mug with butter and flour. This will prevent cinnamon roll from sticking to the mug.
  • Every microwave behaves differently. If the roll is undercooked, increment cooking time by 5-second intervals.
  • Don’t overcook, it’ll turn tough.
  • This cinnamon roll is meant to be eaten immediately. If you rest it and then serve it will be hard.
