Description

A quick and fluffy single-serve pancake made conveniently in a microwave-safe mug, ideal for busy mornings when you want a warm, satisfying breakfast without the hassle.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon oil or melted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, thoroughly mix the flour, sugar, and baking powder to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in the milk, oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until you achieve a smooth, consistent batter free of lumps.
  3. Microwave cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60 to 90 seconds, or until the pancake is fully set and cooked through.
  4. Cooling and serving: Allow the pancake to cool slightly in the mug for a minute or two, then enjoy directly from the mug with optional toppings if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor and texture, add chocolate chips or fresh fruit directly to the batter before microwaving.
  • Microwave cook times can vary based on the wattage and power of your microwave, so adjust accordingly to avoid overcooking.
