Description

This Gluten Free Cinnamon Roll in a Mug is a quick and easy treat perfect for satisfying your cinnamon roll cravings without the hassle. Made with gluten free pancake mix and naturally sweetened with maple syrup and coconut sugar, it’s a delicious, single-serving dessert that can be prepared in minutes using a microwave or oven.

Ingredients

For the cinnamon roll

  • 1/4 cup gluten free pancake mix
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp almond milk, plus more if needed
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Pinch of sea salt

For the cinnamon sugar

  • 2 tsp coconut sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

For the sugar glaze

  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp almond milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a greased shallow mug or ramekin, combine all ingredients for the cinnamon roll – gluten free pancake mix, baking powder, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, and sea salt. Whisk together thoroughly with a fork until the batter resembles a thick pancake batter. If it’s too thick, add a splash more almond milk.
  2. Make cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the coconut sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Incorporate cinnamon sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the prepared batter in the mug. Use a knife or chopstick to swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter in a circular motion, creating ribbons of cinnamon throughout.
  4. Microwave to cook: Microwave the mug cinnamon roll on high for 1 minute to 1 minute 20 seconds depending on your microwave’s power, or until the batter is set and cooked through.
  5. Alternative oven method: If you do not have a microwave, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the mug cinnamon roll in the ramekin for 15-20 minutes. Check at 15 minutes with a toothpick inserted to ensure it’s baked through but still moist.
  6. Prepare sugar glaze: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with almond milk until smooth and drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm cinnamon roll.
  7. Serve warm: Enjoy your gluten free cinnamon roll in a mug immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a microwave, bake the cinnamon roll in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, checking at 15 minutes with a toothpick to ensure doneness and avoid dryness.
  • If the batter is too thick, add more almond milk a little at a time until it reaches the consistency of thick pancake batter.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the gluten free pancake mix is vegan, and use your preferred plant-based milk and sweeteners.
