Cinnamon Roll Mug Cake
Ingredients
- Dough
- 4 tbsp spelt flour or regular flour
- 1 3/4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp brown sugar (optional)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Filling: 1 tsp maple syrup or vegan butter
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Glaze (optional): If you want a traditional icing, just mix 1 tbsp powdered sugar with a splash of almond milk. Mix until the right consistency is achieved
Preparation
In a bowl, add flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and sugar and mix well
Add in milk and mix together with a fork until a dough starts to form
Go in with your hands and kneed dough for about 1-2 minutes
If dough is dry, add a small splash of milk
If dough is too wet, add a pinch of flour until it is less sticky
Allow dough to rest for a minute, then take dough to a lightly floured surface and with hands start flattening dough and forming a rectangle
Using either maple syrup or vegan butter, lightly spread it over the dough surface then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over top
With a spoon, make sure to spread cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough
Starting from the short end of the dough, start rolling dough tightly to form a log
Cut log into 4 even pieces
Take cinnamon roll pieces and place them in a shallow mug, allowing a little space in between for them to grow
Place mug in the microwave and set to 1 minute
Allow to cook for the first 30 second and open microwave door to allow to rest for a second
Close door again and microwave for the remaining 30 seconds
Allow to rest for a few seconds and then cook for the remaining 15 seconds if buns do not appear done cooking
Once mug cake is cooked, top with icing and enjoy immediately
If you allow the mug cake to sit for a long time, it will eventually get hard
