Step 1

Begin by melting the butter in your microwave. In a small bowl add flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla. Mix together well until you have a fairly loose dough. It is not solid like a traditional cinnamon roll dough, but you can “firm” it up enough to use but having a dusting of flour on your clean counter.

Step 2

Scoop the dough onto the counter and then sprinkle more flour over top and on your fingers. Gently flatten the dough (checking to make sure it isn’t sticking) into a long rectangle. Mine was about 10 inches long, but it just needs to be a minimum of 6 inches and about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Melt the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together for 60 seconds and stir well. It will technically be melted together in about 40 seconds, but the brown sugar will not break down much more when microwaving the cinnamon roll so I like to microwave for 60 seconds. (Cover your bowl with paper towel to avoid making a mess.)

Step 4

Lift up the dough to make sure it’s not sticking to your counter, then flatten again. Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture over top and smooth out.

Step 5

Roll the dough into a cinnamon roll and place it into your greased mug.

Step 6

Microwave for 90 seconds. If after 90 seconds the dough appears wet on top, put it back in the microwave for 10 seconds and continue to do that until it no longer appears wet. Everyone’s microwave is different so I recommend making 1 cinnamon roll in a mug, seeing how it works, then you will know how much time it needs in the future.
