Notes
Try a drizzle of cream cheese icing or add a spoonful of mini chips before microwaving. Prefer oil? Swap the butter in the batter for 1 1/2 tbsp neutral oil and keep the buttery swirl on top. Microwaves vary—start low on time and add 5–10 seconds if needed. For extra cinnamon roll vibes, add a tiny pinch of nutmeg.
