Cinnamon roll in a mug
I actually made this vegan, for a brand, and was surprised how well it came out. This is something you need to experience, if not for taste, for satisfaction and aesthetic purposes.
It’s a little more on the lengthy side - I’d say maybe 30 mins, but I’d say it was worth it.

Method
- Preheat your oven to 170°C.
- Add your flour and yogurt to a mixing bowl, with a sprinkle of baking powder, then mix until you have a dough.
- Add some flour to your surface, then knead the dough for about 30 seconds, so it comes together.
- Roll the dough out into a long roll, about 10cm in width, and 1cm thick.
- Slice the dough in half, lengthways, then stick the ends together, with the cut sides facing the same way, so you have an extra long strip of dough.
- Spread 1 tbsp softened butter down the length of the roll, so it’s fully coated, then sprinkle over your coconut/ brown sugar evenly, and spread out with your hands. If your butter isn’t pre-softened, microwave it for 5-10 seconds.
- Evenly sprinkle your cinnamon over the dough, then use your hand to make sure it’s spread around.
- Roll the dough up into a cinnamon roll, but not too tightly - you want to leave room for the roll to expand in the oven.
- Add another tsp brown sugar to the bottom of your ramekin, then place your rolled up dough inside, with the cut side facing up.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough looks golden brown, and has expanded nicely.
- Whilst your roll bakes, make your icing - if your butter isn’t soft already, microwave it for 5-10 seconds, or until it just starts to melt. Mix your softened butter, cream cheese and icing sugar together, until you have a buttercream.
- Once your cinnamon roll is cooked, spread over your icing and serve.
