Microwave Cinnamon Roll
Looking for a delicious dessert, but don't want to make an entire pan of cinnamon rolls? This microwave cinnamon roll for one is ready in 5 minutes! Low-carb, gluten-free.
Servings: 1 jumbo cinnamon roll, or 2 medium cinnamon rolls
Ingredients
For Dough
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon granulated sweetener
- 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
For Filling
- 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Optional Frosting
- 1 teaspoon cream cheese (or solid part of canned coconut milk)
- 1 teaspoon heavy cream or liquid coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon powdered sweetener
- splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix coconut flour, granulated sweetener and xanthan gum in a bowl. Add in eggs and melted coconut oil or unsalted butter and mix until well-combined. Set aside.
- Add melted coconut oil or unsalted butter to a small bowl. Add in granulated sweetener, ground cinnamon and vanilla extract. Mix to combine. Set aside.
- Mix dough one more time, and spread out into a long strip on a piece of parchment paper. You want to form it into a rectangle approximately 1.5 inch by 8 inches, and approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread filling on top of the dough. Slowly roll dough into a spiral shape.
- Spray a ramekin with nonstick spray. Gently place cinnamon roll into ramekin. Place in microwave for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave. I did 2 minutes in my low-power microwave, and it worked well. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before consuming.
- If desired, mix frosting ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to cool fully before adding frosting.
