When it comes to dessert, there is nothing more decadent nor nostalgic than a cinnamon roll. After all, who doesn't love a fluffy, yeasty bun rolled with cinnamon and butter and dusted with icing? But, cinnamon rolls can also be a labor of love, and when you just want *one*, sometime's it's not worth making a whole bunch of them. Which is why I'm so excited to share my Single Serving Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll - my take on the delicious, nostalgic Cinnabon cinnamon roll, but made for one, so you can enjoy it in a pinch! Oh, and my recipe also happens to be both vegan-friendly and gluten-free optional. It truly doesn't get any better than that!
Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Roll:
- ½ Banana mashed until it forms a puree
- 2 Tablespoons Yogurt of Choice use dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe vegan-friendly!
- ½ Cup Self-Rising Flour
For the Filling:
- 1 Tablespoon Butter or Vegan Butter melted
- 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar or substitute coconut sugar
- ½ Teaspoon Cinnamon
For the Icing:
- ¼ Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Water
Instructions
- Start by peeling and mashing your banana in a bowl, with a fork, until it is almost pureed.
- Then, add the yogurt and self-rising flour to the bowl with the banana and mix to combine.
- Next, preheat your oven to 350 F while you prepare the rest of the dough.
- Mix until fully combined and the dough is sticky. Keep adding in more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a ball, then transfer the ball to a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough, but be careful that it doesn’t break!
- Next, cut your dough into two strips, then roll each strip together. Look at the video for exact instructions on how to do this!
- Finally, transfer your cinnamon roll to a greased ramekin or mug and bake at 350 F for 15 minutes. While the cinnamon roll is baking, prepare your icing by mixing the icing ingredients together, in a bowl, until there are no clumps.
- Once your cinnamon roll is done, remove it from the oven and let cool completely before adding in the icing. Then, add the icing, serve immediately, and enjoy!
