There's something magical about the aroma of warm cinnamon rolls wafting through the house. But let's be honest - who has time for all that kneading and waiting? This mug version is my late-night savior when I'm craving that classic cinnamon roll comfort without the fuss!

- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Tiny pinch of salt
For the Filling:

Quick Glaze:
