Description
A warm, gooey cinnamon roll experience in just minutes! This single-serving mug cake combines the comforting flavors of cinnamon and brown sugar, delivering a quick and satisfying treat without the need for baking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or Kodiak Cakes pancake mix
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (omit if using pancake mix)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk or other milk, plus 1–2 tablespoons more as needed
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon oil or melted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug with cooking spray, butter, or oil.
- In the mug, mix together the flour (or pancake mix), baking powder (if using), milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and oil or melted butter. Stir until combined. If the batter is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons more milk to achieve a thick but pourable consistency.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the batter in the mug. Use the tip of a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the top of the batter.
- Microwave on high for about 1 minute and 25 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage.
- Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let it cool slightly before enjoying.
Notes
- Top with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a splash of milk for extra indulgence.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for more spice depth.
- Enjoy warm for the best texture and flavor.
