Ingredients

For the Cinnamon Roll

  • 1/4 cup gluten free pancake mix (vegan-friendly option)
  • 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. Mix the Batter: Grease a shallow mug or ramekin. In it, whisk together the gluten free pancake mix, baking powder, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, and a pinch of sea salt until combined. If the batter is too thick, add a splash more almond milk to achieve a thick pancake batter consistency.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine coconut sugar and cinnamon, stirring until well mixed.
  3. Add Cinnamon Sugar to Batter: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the batter in the mug.
  4. Swirl Cinnamon Sugar: Using a knife or chopstick, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter in a circular motion until it is evenly incorporated, creating the classic cinnamon roll spiral effect.
  5. Microwave the Cinnamon Roll: Microwave the mug for 1 to 1 minute 20 seconds, depending on your microwave’s power. The cinnamon roll should be cooked through but still soft.
  6. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and almond milk until smooth.
  7. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon roll and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a microwave, you can bake this in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking starting at 15 minutes with a toothpick to ensure it’s baked through. Avoid overbaking to keep the roll moist and soft.
