What can you do with 5 minutes, a mug and some cinnamon? Make yourself an individual cinnamon roll. Yes, it’s that easy. Since sharing is caring, this recipe can be doubled and divided into two mugs.
Additional Notes:
Don’t have an microwave? Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until desired texture.
Piping: Did you know you don’t have to have a pastry bag to pipe? If you want to go all out and pipe a swirl of cream cheese, you can do that with a freezer bag. Simply put icing into a small freezer bag, push to bottom, cut hole in bottom side and pipe out of hole.
Option: Sub Vanilla Vega® Essentials for Vega® Protein & Greens–it will be greenish and spongier.
