This Single Serve Cinnamon Roll is a quick and delightful treat perfect for one. Made with simple ingredients including self-rising flour and Greek yogurt, this easy-to-make cinnamon roll is baked in a ramekin for convenience. Soft, buttery, and perfectly spiced, it’s an ideal personal dessert or breakfast pastry that can be ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1/2 cup self-rising (gluten-free) flour, or 1/2 cup all-purpose flour plus 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (non-dairy yogurt can be used)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, divided

Filling and Topping

  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened (or vegan butter)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a small ramekin to prevent sticking and set aside.
  2. Make the Dough: In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of self-rising flour, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, slowly add up to 1 additional tablespoon of yogurt to achieve a sticky but manageable dough.
  3. Shape the Dough: Lightly flour a clean kitchen surface and flatten the dough into a rectangle approximately 3 by 6 inches in size.
  4. Add Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Spread the softened butter evenly over the flattened dough. Then sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and the cinnamon evenly on top.
  5. Roll and Place in Ramekin: Starting from the short end of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly into a spiral to form your cinnamon roll shape. Transfer the roll into the prepared ramekin and gently press down to fit.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll is lightly golden brown on top.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Optionally, top with a powdered sugar glaze or drizzle with maple syrup before enjoying, or serve as-is.

Notes

  • You can substitute Greek yogurt with non-dairy yogurt to make this vegan-friendly.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free self-rising flour or all-purpose gluten-free flour plus baking powder.
  • Ensure the dough is sticky but not overly wet by adjusting yogurt quantity as needed.
  • Optional toppings include powdered sugar glaze or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
  • Using a ramekin allows easy portioning and baking for a single serving.
