Microwave Cinnamon Roll in a Mug
Description
This recipe transforms common baking ingredients into a single-serving cinnamon roll prepared in a mug. The dough, made from flour, baking powder, salt, and milk, is mixed and kneaded briefly before being rolled thin and coated with melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Rolled into a spiral that fits inside a buttered microwave-safe mug, it cooks rapidly in the microwave to set the dough.
After microwaving for about a minute, the cinnamon roll is topped with a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk, which melts slightly over the warm pastry. The quick cooking method keeps the roll moist and soft rather than deeply browned or crispy.
This technique provides a convenient, portion-controlled dessert suitable for those seeking cinnamon rolls without traditional oven baking or longer preparation times. It can be enjoyed straight from the mug as a casual sweet snack.
Ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Glaze
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon milk
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean and lightly floured surface; knead a few times until smooth. Roll the dough out into a strip about 3-inches wide and 12-16 inches long.
- Brush the inside of a microwave safe coffee mug generously with some of the melted butter. Brush the remaining melted butter onto the rolled out dough.
- Sprinkle the dough with granulated sugar and cinnamon. Start at one end and roll the dough up to look like a cinnamon roll.
- Place the roll in the buttered mug. Microwave on high heat for 60 second until the dough is set.
- In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze. Pour the glaze over the hot cinnamon roll. Cool slightly, then enjoy.
