Description

This pancake in a mug is a quick and easy single-serving breakfast made in the microwave. Light, fluffy, and ready in minutes, it’s perfect for busy mornings or satisfying a pancake craving without making a full batch.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (60ml) milk
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Microwave cook: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 60 to 90 seconds, or until the pancake is fully set and cooked through.
  4. Cool and serve: Allow the pancake to cool for one minute before eating to avoid burns. Top with your choice of maple syrup, berries, or whipped cream for added flavor, if desired.

Notes

  • Microwave cooking times may vary depending on the wattage of your appliance; adjust accordingly.
  • For extra flavor, try adding chocolate chips or blueberries into the batter before cooking.
  • Use a large enough mug to prevent the batter from overflowing during cooking.
