Ingredients
Dough:
- 4 tbsp spelt flour or regular flour
- 1 ¾ tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of cinnamon
- ½ tsp brown sugar optional
- ½ tsp baking powder
Filling:
- 1 tsp maple syrup or vegan butter
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Dough & Filling:
- 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 knead 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 for 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.
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.
