Description

If you love cinnamon rolls but don’t love how long they take to make, this Cinnamon Roll in a Mug is your new favorite! It’s soft, doughy, buttery, and ready in under 10 minutes. With a warm cinnamon-sugar swirl and a drizzle of sweet glaze, this single-serve treat delivers all the cozy bakery flavor — no oven, no waiting!

Ingredients

For the Dough

• 3½ tbsp (60g) Greek yogurt (any fat percentage)
• 6 tbsp (50g) self-raising flour, heat-treated (+ extra for dusting if needed)

For the Filling

• 2 tsp (10g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon

For the Glaze (Optional but Recommended)

• 3 tbsp powdered sugar
• 2 tsp milk

Instructions

1. Prepare the mug: Grease a small or medium mug with butter or spray with cooking oil.
2. Make the dough: In a small bowl, mix yogurt and flour until a dough forms. Knead with your hands until it’s soft and not sticky (add a little more flour if needed).
3. Roll out: Transfer dough to a floured surface and roll into a rectangle (about 10 × 6 in / 25 × 15 cm).
4. Add filling: In another bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Spread over the dough, leaving a small border. Fold the long edges inward, then roll up from the short edge.
5. Microwave: Place the roll in the prepared mug. Microwave on high for 50–60 seconds, until the dough is hot and fluffy. Don’t overcook or it’ll get chewy.
6. Add glaze: Mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm roll. Serve right in the mug, or turn it out on a plate — enjoy!

Tips & Notes

• Add a pinch of vanilla or nutmeg to the filling for extra warmth.
• Try using maple syrup instead of sugar for a richer flavor.
