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 kneed 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 to 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.
