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!

Cinnamon Bun mug cake recipe

Ingredients:

Self raising spelt flour: I make my own by taking 1 cup spelt flour and mixing it with 2 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt. You could use normal self raising flour if you prefer

Yoghurt: I use plain greek yoghurt.

Granulated sweetener of choice: I use golden monk fruit, but you could use any granulated sweetener such as brown sugar, coconut sugar, erythritol etc.

Dash of cinnamon: The Essential ingredient

Milk of choice: I use almond but you could use any milk of choice

Method:

1.

In a mixing bowl or clean surface, mix your self raising flour with your yoghurt until it forms a ball.

Sprinkle your sweetener and cinnamon over your milk brushed dough.
