1 MINUTE, ONE CINNAMON ROLL - SINGLE SERVE RECIPE

Forget to spend hours preparing Cinnmon Rolls: if you have a sudden Cinnmon Roll craving, you can follow this recipe and get only ONE cinnamon roll in few minutes, without rising time!
The dough is beyond quick and easy: made without eggs in just one bowl, thanks to baking powder you can immediately roll it, spread your butter/cinnamon-sugar mix on top and roll it.
I cook it in microwave so it's ready in only 60-70 seconds!
It's soft and fluffy, but consider that this recipe is meant to be eat immediately, just few minutes to slightly cool it down. I suggest to not store it because it could dry out after few hours.
Of course if you don't have microwave, you can bake in preheated traditional oven (no fan if possible, upper+lower heat) at 180°C for few minutes.
You can enjoy it with some icing sugar or cream cheese glaze on top: it's simply irresistible!

Hello, I am Valentina! Welcome to How Tasty!

I am an Italian girl in love with baking and cooking. I’ve been raised in a cooking family, baking since I was a little girl and learning from my mom and my professional chef grandma.

I created the Youtube channel How Tasty in 2017 to share with you my passion.

You don’t need to be a professional cook to follow all my recipes thanks to the video tutorials and the tips & hints you can find here.

Let’s cook!

Don’t lose any recipe!

Tips:

I suggest to use a kitchen scale to measure accurately the ingredients. You should get a very soft but not sticky dough.

I rolled the dough into a 9×13 cm rectangle, then cut in 2 strips. If you roll it into a larger rectangle, you can cut into 3 strips to get a not too tall cinnamon roll.

I used microwave oven for this recipe so you don’t need to waste time with preheating and it’s ready in only 60-70 seconds, but here I give you some advices:

  • Every microwave is different: If you have a microwave with higher/lower power, you have to reduce/increase the cooking time for few seconds. Do NOT overcook yuour cookie or it will turn out hard! It should be very soft and fragile when it’s done.
  • If you don’t have microwave you can surely bake it in traditional preheated oven at 180°C-350°F for few minutes. Always remember to NOT overbake it!

I placed my cinnmon roll into a greased and lined ramekin, but you can also put it into a mug.

I suggest to not let the roll cooking without a mold (ramekin or mug) because it could open while cooking and lose its shape.

You can eat your Cinnamon Roll warm directly fromn the mold (ramekin or mug) without unmold it, I unmolded it just to show you better how nice it turned out!

If you eat it directly from the ramekin, you don’t need to line and grease the mold.
