5 Minute Vegan Cinnamon Roll Mug Cake

all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)

banana, mashed

non-dairy milk (I used almond milk)

maple syrup

almond butter

baking powder

salt

cinnamon

Make the cinnamon roll dough

In a mixing bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth. Whisk in the non-dairy milk, maple syrup, almond butter, baking powder, and salt. Then stir in the 5 tablespoons of flour until well incorporated. The dough will be a bit sticky, but if it is too sticky to work with, stir in additional flour 1/2 tablespoon at a time.  

Make the cinnamon glaze. 

In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, almond butter, and cinnamon. *

Assemble the cinnamon roll

Dust your surface with flour and press the dough into a long flat rectangle that is roughly 1/4 in thin. Spread the cinnamon glaze evenly on the dough. Roll the dough lengthwise to form a cinnamon roll.

Microwave the cinnamon roll. 

Lightly grease the inside of a microwave safe mug. Place the cinnamon roll into the mug, pressing it down with your fingers if needed to make it wider. Microwave for 35-45 seconds (this will depending on the strength of your microwave) until fully cooked. 

Enjoy!

Eat the cinnamon roll directly out of the mug, or take it out and enjoy on a plate. I cut my mug cake cinnamon roll in half to make two smaller cinnamon rolls (and ended up eating both of them myself).   

Forget the stovetop - this cheat's white sauce is made entirely in the microwave (and you won't find a lump in sight).

Everyone should know how to make perfect, fluffy white rice. So here&#039;s how to cook white rice using 3 different methods: rice cooker, stovetop, and microwave. Each method have their own pros and cons and may be more suitable than others for your kitchen. Here&#039;s to mastery of cooking white rice no matter where you&#039;re at!

How to Cook White Rice

white rice (long, medium, or short grain)

water

Wash the rice:For any of these cooking methods, wash and rinse the rice a few times until the water runs mostly clear. Then make sure to drain the rice well to get rid of as much water as possible.

Place the rice and water into the rice cooker pot. Seal the pressure and select the &quot;white rice&quot; cooking function. Most rice cooker will also have an automatic depressurizing function as well.

Once the rice is done cooking, fluff the rice with a rice paddle and serve.

Rice cooker method:

Place the rice and water into a large saucepan and bring to a boil.*Make sure to use a saucepan or pot with at least 4 to 5 inch clearance to avoid boiling over.*

Once it comes to a boil, immediately reduce to the lowest heat and cover with a lid. The water should be just simmering.*A gas stove is the easiest for controlling the heat. If using an electric stovetop, you may need to wait for the burner to cool down before placing the pot back on the heat.*

Let the rice simmer for about 20 minutes, then take the pot off the heat. Allow the rice to steam (with the lid on) for about 10 minutes, then uncover and fluff with a rice paddle or fork.

Stovetop method:

After the rice is washed, cover it with water again and let the rice soak for 30 minutes.

Then drain the rice really well and place it into a microwave safe bowl or mug along with the water. Shake to level out the rice. Cover the bowl with a lid or plate and also place a plate under the bowl. Make sure everything is microwave safe!

Place the whole plate and bowl set up in the microwave and microwave for 5 minutes on 100% power (high power).

Carefully remove whole setup from the microwave an pour any liquid on the bottom plate back into the bowl. Be careful! It&#39;ll be super hot. Give the rice a good stir to reincorporate the liquid and roughly even out the rice.

Cover the bowl again with the lid/plate and place the whole set up back in the microwave. Microwave on the same power for another 5 minutes, then remove from the microwave.

Allow the rice to steam (with the lid on) for about 5 minutes and fluff with a fork.

Microwave method (with soaking):

Place the washed and well drained rice into a microwave safe bowl, and place the bowl on a plate.

Pour the boiling hot water over the rice and shake gently to even out the rice. Cover the bowl with a lid or plate and place the whole setup into the microwave.*Make sure everything is microwave safe!*

Microwave the rice for 5 minutes on 100% power (high power). Then carefully remove from the microwave and pour any liquid on the bottom plate back into the bowl.

Stir the rice to reincorporate the liquid and cover again with the lid/plate. Place the whole setup back into the microwave and microwave on the same power level for another 5 minutes.

Remove from the microwave and let the rice steam with the lid on for about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Microwave method (without soaking):

Microwave on high for 3 minutes and 5 to 15 seconds. ( I recommend starting with the shorter time of 3 minutes 5 seconds, since I'd rather have my caramels too soft than too hard). Remove from microwave and stir and scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Today&#x27;s recipe for Overnight One-Pot Microwave Pasta Bake is a brilliant way to feed a family of four, sing minimal pots and pans, and more impotanrtly, energy.

As we all know, energy costs have spiralled in the UK, and we are all going to have to try to heat and eat when winter finally arrives.

My latest recipe for Overnight One-Pot Microwave Pasta Bake not only saves on energy by using the mocrowave, but, it only uses ONE POT as in one dish, thus saving on washing up too.

And, it&#x27;s a real oven to table recipe, where all that is needed is crusty bread and some seasonal salad to accompany it.

I&#x27;ve also used a ready-made chilli tomato sauce, again saving time on making your own. You can choose any pasta or tomato sauce you find locally, or even just a tin of chopped tomatoes.
