Is It Me or the Microwave?

I’m not the best baker. I’m always trying to make things healthier, and I don’t have the patience for complicated recipes. My baking consists of low-sugar muffins, loaves, and lunchbox healthy-ish treats.

But when the craving hits, I want dough. Doughnuts, cinnamon buns, anything bready and slightly sweet.

I told Ali, my fellow vegan writer that I’d post a recipe for a one-minute cinnamon bun, made in the microwave — in a mug.

Before moving into an apartment with a microwave I said:

I’ll never use a microwave.

I ate my words.

I use it to warm meals when we’re busy.

So how did this odd-shaped microwavable dessert taste? Like cinnamon rubber!

Maybe you can do better with this recipe, but I’ll stick to the traditional oven — even if it takes a while.
