1. Add the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, milk, vanilla, and melted butter to a small bowl and stir until combined.

2. Turn dough onto a floured surface and flatten into a rectangle.

3. In a small bowl, melt butter and mix in brown sugar and cinnamon.

4. Spread the filling mixture evenly over the dough rectangle.

5. Roll the dough into a cinnamon roll shape.

6. Place the roll into a greased mug (standard size).

7. Microwave for 90 seconds. Add extra time in 10-second increments if the dough appears wet.

8. Mix glaze ingredients and pour over the warm roll in the mug or after inverting onto a plate.

Grease your mug well to prevent sticking.

Use whole milk for a richer dough and glaze.

Customize the filling with a drop of maple syrup or espresso for extra flavor.
