QuestionDo I have to use baking powder?Community AnswerYes! The baking powder is what helps your cinnamon bun rise as it cooks. If you leave out the baking powder, you'll have dense, chewy bun.

About this article
To make a cinnamon bun in a mug, first add 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of melted butter to a mug, followed by ¼ cup (40 g) of flour. Add ¼ teaspoon (1 g) of baking powder and 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of milk (almond milk works too). You can also add 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of maple syrup for extra flavor. Stir everything together until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine 1 tablespoon (12 ½ g) of brown sugar and ¼ teaspoon (½ g) of cinnamon. Pour the mixture over the top of the batter in the mug, then gently swirl everything together with a spoon. Finally, microwave for 1 minute and 25 seconds. Eat your cinnamon bun directly from the mug!
