Cinnamon Bun
A couple years ago, I was not a cinnamon type of person! Yes, I still can’t believe it either, but over the years my taste for the spice started to refined a lot more and I found myself reaching for it more and more. I remember the first time ever that I tried a cinnamon bun. It was at Cinnabon, and I remember being hugely disappointed at the outcome! I found it tasted extremely sweet, oily and overall concluded that cinnamon buns just weren’t for me!
But then… a couple years later I tried one at a christmas market and oh my, was my mind blown.
A fluffy dough, with hints of vanilla, sugar and cinnamon had my mouth singing. Sticky, sweet, and filled with cinnamon- I knew I had to create something similar!
Single Serving Cinnamon Bun
Light, Fluffy and so easy to make! This honestly, is the ultimate single (almost) serving cinnamon bun. The best part is that this 2 serving recipe not only allows you to make a delicious cinnamon bun, but without the yeast and the effort! Using the famous two ingredient dough, these come out fluffy and so delicious!
Can The Cinnamon Bun Be Made In The Microwave
I do not recommend making this in the microwave! The dough gets its delicious texture from being baked in the oven until golden brown. Having it in the microwave will result in a chewy texture and a pale colour! You can however, bake it in the air fryer! This will result in that perfectly golden caramelised colour that we are looking for!
