Single Serving Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll

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!
