Cinnamon Roll in a Mug
I was browsing TikTok the other day and came across this recipe for TikTok Cinnamon Roll in a Mug that has 1,500,000 million views. I was intrigued of course and had to try it! I mean, who wouldn't love a quick and easy Cinnamon Roll made in a mug in the microwave??? When done properly, this is actually a pretty good craving buster. If you just have to have Cinnamon Rolls, it will certainly do in a pinch!
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 ½ tablespoons salted butter, melted (set aside)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk, I prefer whole milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Filling
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Glaze
- ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk, (can also use heavy cream)
Instructions
Dough
- Add the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, milk, vanilla, and melted butter to a small bowl and stir until combined.
- One the dough is solid, drop onto a clean and slightly floured surface.
- Use your hands to flatten dough into a rectangle .
Filling
- In a small bowl, melt the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for about 1 minute. (Depending on how cold your butter is.) Stir well.
Assembly
- Pour filling over dough rectangle and then roll up into a cinnamon roll shape.
- Place roll into mug (I prefer to use a standard size mug, nothing too wide). Make sure your mug is sprayed with non-stick spray or greased.
- Heat roll in microwave for 90 seconds. If the dough appears WET on top, it may need to heat for a few more seconds. (10 second increments.) If the dough appears dry the cinnamon roll is done. You can also test with a toothpick.
Glaze
- Stir confectioners sugar and milk together in a bowl until smooth.
- Pour over warm cinnamon roll in the mug or invert the roll onto a plate and pour glaze over top.
