In a microwave-safe mug, mix: - 1/4 cup almond flour - 1/4 cup gluten-free oat flour - 1 tablespoon coconut sugar - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon - Pinch of salt Use a fork to combine these dry ingredients well. Make sure there are no lumps. This step sets the stage for a smooth dough. Next, add the wet ingredients to your dry mix. Pour in: - 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk - 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil - 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Stir everything together with your fork. Keep mixing until you get a thick and smooth batter. This mixture brings moisture and flavor to your roll. Now, it’s time to create the filling. In a small bowl, combine: - 1 tablespoon coconut sugar - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon softened coconut oil Mix these until they form a smooth paste. This filling adds a sweet and spicy burst to your roll. To assemble, take half of the cinnamon dough and spoon it into your mug. Flatten it out gently with the back of a spoon. Next, spread the filling evenly over this layer. Cover the filling with the remaining dough. Press down gently to seal it in. This creates your delightful cinnamon roll. Place the mug in the microwave. Cook on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes. Microwaves vary, so start with 1 minute. Check if the dough has risen and is set. If it needs more time, add in 15-second increments. You want it fully cooked but still soft. Once it’s done, carefully take the mug out of the microwave. Let it cool for about a minute. Your vegan cinnamon roll delight is ready to enjoy! For an extra treat, drizzle some maple syrup or sprinkle powdered sugar on top. This adds a lovely finish to your sweet creation. To get the best texture, use fresh flour. Old flour can make your roll dense. Mix the dry ingredients well to avoid clumps. Stir until smooth for a light, fluffy roll. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too dry, add a tiny splash of almond milk. If too wet, add a little flour. Microwave power varies, so check your roll often. Start with one minute. Look for a rise; it should look set. If it’s not ready, cook in 15-second bursts. Don’t overcook, or it will become rubbery. Let it cool for a minute before eating. This helps the flavor develop. You can swap almond flour for other gluten-free flours. Try coconut flour or rice flour if you like. For nut-free options, use sunflower seed flour. Coconut sugar can be replaced with brown sugar or maple sugar. Use non-dairy milk of your choice, like soy or oat milk. Just keep the same amounts to ensure good results. Pro Tips Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your almond milk and coconut oil are at room temperature for better mixing and a fluffier cinnamon roll. Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of coconut sugar and maple syrup to your taste preferences for a sweeter or less sweet roll. Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of almond extract in the batter for an extra flavor dimension. Check Microwave Power: Since microwaves can vary greatly in power, always start with the lowest recommended time to avoid overcooking. {{image_4}} You can make your vegan mug cinnamon roll even better. Adding nuts or dried fruits brings new flavors and textures. Try chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds for crunch. If you like sweetness, go for raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates. Mix them in with the filling. This way, they blend well with the cinnamon and sugar. You can switch up the flavors in your cinnamon roll. Instead of just cinnamon, try adding vanilla or pumpkin spice. A splash of vanilla extract enhances the flavor. You can also use pumpkin spice for a cozy twist. Just mix these flavors into the dough or filling for a fun change. If you're looking for a sugar-free treat, I have options for you. Use a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol. These sweeteners can replace coconut sugar in the recipe. Just make sure to adjust the amount based on the sweetness level of your chosen substitute. This way, you can enjoy a tasty cinnamon roll without added sugar. To store your vegan mug cinnamon roll, let it cool completely. Once cooled, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. This helps keep it fresh. Store it in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to enjoy it later, make sure to check for any signs of spoilage before eating. When you're ready to enjoy your leftover cinnamon roll, you can reheat it easily. Place it back in the microwave for about 15 to 30 seconds. Check to see if it’s warm throughout. If it feels cold, heat it for another 10 seconds. You want it warm, not hot. This keeps the texture soft and pleasant. You can also freeze your vegan mug cinnamon roll for later! Wrap it well in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer bag. This way, it stays fresh for up to two months. When you crave it, take it out and thaw it in the fridge overnight. Reheat it in the microwave as mentioned before. Enjoy your treat anytime! Yes, you can use other flours. Almond flour and gluten-free oat flour work well together. You might try coconut flour or tapioca flour, but you may need to adjust the amounts. Each flour has a unique texture and taste. Experiment to find what you enjoy best! Check the dough after 1 minute in the microwave. It should rise and look set. If it still looks wet, cook it for 15 more seconds. Be careful not to overcook it. The roll may become dry and tough if cooked too long. This recipe is best fresh, but you can prepare the dry ingredients ahead. Just store them in a sealed container. When you’re ready to enjoy, mix in the wet ingredients and cook. This method saves time and keeps your cinnamon roll delicious.
