the cutest, lil’ microwave cinnamon roll for ONE.

Oh hey.  Just me.  With another cinnamon roll recipe.

Healthy cinnamon roll for ONE! Made with oat flour and bananas! Soo tasty! | immaEATthat.com

I already have a single serving cinnamon roll recipe on the blog, but we can always use another! Who doesn’t love a cute cinnamon roll for one?!

I asked Andrew what he wanted to breakfast yesterday (because I’m indecisive and couldn’t decide what I wanted).  He said cheesy eggs.  So I made us cheesy eggs and then…he ate them all because he was hungrier than I thought.  So then I was like, “hmmm” and was also like, “well I don’t want to make more eggs (you know, because that would take to long…aka 30 seconds), and I’m kinda feeling something sweet.” So I went to pinterest to look for inspiration.  Nothing looked good.  Then I thought, “I should def just go with the classic and make a single serving cinnamon roll.” 

And all those thoughts happened in about 4 1/2 minutes.  My mind is a very noisy place.  Sometimes I ask Andrew, “what are you thinking about right now?” And he goes, “literally nothing.” Gosh I wish I could think about nothing.  That sounds so nice.  My brain is always like, “blaaaaahhh blah blaaaaahhh blah blaahhhh.”  That’s one of the reasons I go to yoga…to quiet the noise a bit. 

Okay. This recipe.  I think it’s totally awesome and I think the oat flour MAKES it soft and flavorful.  I haven’t tried it with any other flours, but I’m sure you could.  I don’t think it tastes very banana-y, but you could prob replace the banana with applesauce if you hate bananas (i hear you people who hate bananas exist?!). 

It’s not an ooey, gooey cinnamon roll, but it’s soft and dense and I really love it.  Try it.  See what you think.  Let me know what you think. 

Happy cinnamon roll-ing!
