Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 9 tablespoons (70 grams) all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 small pinch fine sea salt
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Sweeteners:
- 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
Wet Ingredients and Greasing:
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1 tiny dab of sunflower oil
- 1 tiny dab of canola oil
- 1 tiny dab of olive oil
- 1 tiny dab of coconut oil
Icing:
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ¾ teaspoon water
- ¾ teaspoon dairy-free milk
Instructions
- Prepare a clean work surface by lightly dusting it with flour to prevent dough from sticking.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a small mixing bowl, creating a dry ingredient base for the mug cinnamon roll.
- Gradually incorporate water into the dry ingredients, kneading gently until a smooth, pliable dough forms that holds together without crumbling.
- Stretch and roll the dough into a thin rectangular shape approximately 4 inches wide, ensuring an even thickness.
- Sprinkle brown sugar and ground cinnamon across the entire surface of the rolled dough, distributing the sweet spice mixture evenly.
- Carefully fold the long edges of the dough toward the center, creating a sealed cinnamon-sugar packet with no loose edges.
- Tightly roll the folded dough into a compact spiral, ensuring the cinnamon filling remains securely inside.
- Lightly coat the interior of a standard-sized mug with a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
- Gently transfer the rolled dough into the prepared mug, positioning it centrally.
- Add a few drops of water to the bottom of the mug to generate steam during cooking.
- Microwave the mug uncovered for approximately 50-60 seconds, watching for the dough to rise and become fully cooked.
- Verify doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should emerge clean without any raw dough residue.
- Whisk powdered sugar with small amounts of liquid, creating a smooth, drizzling icing consistency.
- Pour the prepared icing over the warm cinnamon roll, allowing it to cascade down the sides of the mug.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the freshly baked treat while it’s warm and fragrant.
