The 2-Minute treat Win: The Ultimate Cinnamon Bun Mug Cake
We’ve all been there: it’s 8:00 p.m. on a Tuesday, you’re craving a warm, gooey cinnamon roll, but you have exactly zero interest in kneading dough or waiting three hours for a rise.
Enter the Cinnamon Bun Mug Cake. It’s fluffy, swirling with cinnamon sugar, and topped with a cream cheese glaze that tastes like pure Sunday morning—all made in a microwave in under two minutes, and low carb to boot!
Why You’ll Love This
-
Zero Cleanup: one mug, one spoon, one happy human.
-
Pantry Staples: If you have almond flour, sweetener, and cinnamon, you’re 90% there.
-
Actually Fluffy: No rubbery “microwave texture” here. The secret is a splash of oil instead of butter in the base!
Pro Tip: Don’t skip the salt! Adding just a tiny pinch to the batter helps balance the sweetness and makes the cinnamon flavor pop.
It’s warm, it’s comforting, and it’s fast enough to make during a commercial break or between Zoom meetings. Is it a 12-layer artisanal pastry? No. Is it a delicious, steaming cup of joy that satisfies the craving? Absolutely.
