Ingredients
  

For the Cinnamon Roll
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk add more for desired consistency
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
For the Glaze
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon milk adjust for desired consistency

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a wide microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until combined.
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar. Swirl this mixture into the batter without fully blending.
  4. Microwave on high for 60 seconds, monitoring closely until the top looks set but the center is still slightly soft.
Finishing Touch
  1. Let the cinnamon roll cool for 1 minute.
  2. While it cools, mix the powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze. Drizzle over the warm cinnamon roll.

Notes

For best results, use a wide mug to prevent overflow and microwave in short increments. Let it cool for a minute before enjoying.
