Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ tbsps brown sugar
- 9 tbsps (70 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 small pinch fine sea salt
- 4 tbsps water
- 1 tiny dab sunflower oil
- 1 tiny dab canola oil
- 1 tiny dab olive oil
- 1 tiny dab coconut oil
- 3 tbsps powdered sugar
- ¾ tsp water
- ¾ tsp dairy-free milk
Instructions
- Dry Mixture Preparation: Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, creating a foundational dry ingredient base.
- Dough Formation: Add water to the dry ingredients, kneading gently to develop a smooth, cohesive dough that holds together without crumbling.
- Dough Rolling: Stretch the dough into a thin rectangular shape, approximately 4 inches wide, ensuring uniform thickness.
- Filling Application: Generously distribute brown sugar and ground cinnamon across the entire dough surface, creating an even sweet-spiced layer.
- Dough Folding: Carefully fold the long edges toward the center, creating a sealed cinnamon-sugar packet with no exposed filling.
- Spiral Shaping: Roll the folded dough into a compact spiral, securing the cinnamon filling within the interior.
- Mug Preparation: Lightly oil a standard-sized mug’s interior to prevent sticking and add a few water drops to generate steam during cooking.
- Cooking Process: Place the rolled dough centrally in the mug and microwave uncovered for 50-60 seconds, monitoring the dough’s rise and complete cooking.
- Doneness Check: Verify the cinnamon roll’s readiness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should emerge clean without raw dough residue.
- Icing Finalization: Whisk powdered sugar with liquid to create a smooth icing, then drizzle over the warm cinnamon roll, allowing it to cascade down the sides of the mug.
Notes
- Flour Power: Dust work surface lightly to prevent sticky dough and ensure smooth rolling.
- Dough Consistency Check: Knead gently until dough is pliable and holds together without crumbling for perfect texture.
- Steam Secret: Add a few water drops to generate moisture, ensuring the mug cinnamon roll stays soft and doesn’t dry out.
- Doneness Test: Use the toothpick method to confirm complete cooking – a clean toothpick means perfectly baked mug roll.
