Who needs Cinnabon when you can make your own Cinnamon Roll Muffin In A Mug with Cream Cheese Frosting in less than 3 minutes?!
This sweet little low-carb MIM satisfies all of my cinnamon roll cravings, and it couldn’t possibly be easier to make. Plus, you probably have all the ingredients on hand!
Cinnamon Roll Muffin In A Mug with Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients:
- golden flaxseed meal
- almond flour
- xylitol (or you can use Gentle Sweet in half the amount, or Super Sweet in a quarter of the amount, if you prefer)
- baking powder
- mineral salt
- an egg
- butter
- vanilla extract
- cinnamon
- cream cheese (just a tablespoon)
- half & half
Microwaved for just a minute in a mug or small jar, you’ll end up with the most delightful, high protein, moist, cake-y, cinnamon-y muffin ever. You might want to even skip the few seconds it takes to whip up the cream cheese frosting, but I adore this treat best with a creamy layer in each bite!
I find the Cinnamon Roll Muffin In A Mug with Cream Cheese frosting to be quite filling, so it’s a great breakfast with a side of berries (for more fiber) and/or with a coffee. It naturally contains plenty of protein, so you don’t “need” to add anything else to this treat to keep you feeling full until your next meal.
I hope you love this muffin as much as I do!

Prefer a Peanut Butter flavor?
This Peanut Butter Muffin In A Mug is just as easy and fast to make!
Could I use THM Baking Blend instead of the golden flaxseed meal & almond flour?? I don’t have any flaxseed meal 🙁
I think you should be able to use 3 tbsp of baking blend in place of the almond flour and flaxseed, OR substitute with all almond flour.
I did this with 3 Tbsp baking blend and it was absolutely perfect!
Could these be made ahead and frozen? Mornings are hectic at our house.
Made this today for breakfast. Used 3tbsp of THM baking blend and Gentle Sweet. Added a bit of water to the batter as it was pretty dry when all mixed up. Also pulled back just a bit on the amount of cinnamon but that’s just for personal preference. Microwaved for 1 1/2 mins and poured the icing on top. Delicious!! Nice sweet addition to my morning routine!
I ate this twice this week. It was delicious! The second time I doubled the frosting. 🙂
Thank you so much for this recipe!! After I found out I was allergic to all of the THM sweeteners, I never thought I could enjoy THM baked goodies again… SO HAPPY you sweeten with just xylitol!! You made my day ❤️
Any ideas on how long to bake in the oven? I don’t have a microwave.
I have the same question. I don’t like to eat anything out of the microwave, but if I could mix up some of these and freeze them, before or after cooking, they’d be very handy. Have you tried them in the oven?
I don’t use the microwave either. Any suggestions for how to bake this in the oven?
probably shorter, at a high temp.
I would try *350 for about 12 to 14 min to start.
I’m not sure how I got here but I am so glad that I did. This little muffin helped me to stay on plan this week. It is SO filling. It is definitely a keeper. Thank you for sharing!
The cinnamon roll muffin in a mug was Delicious! I made mine with 3Tbls. of THM baking blend instead of flax and almond flour and 1/2tsp.water and it turned out wonderful. My husband loved it. We will be having these more often!
It looks like you made this in a canning jar. is this an 8-oz wide mouth jar? 16 oz? Thanks!
What are the macros for this delicious cinnamon mug cake?
No nutrition breakdown?
Do you know what the net carbs are on this to make if keto? Thanks
This is SO delicious! I’ve eaten either this one or the peanut butter one everyday since discovering them. I was struggling because I couldn’t find a normal tasting desert on THM. These muffins solved that problem for sure. Thank you for these recipes!
do you happen to have the nutritional breakdown for this? thanks, it was delicious
