Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup pancake mix
Wet Ingredients
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 2 tbsp blueberries or chocolate chips
Topping
- Extra maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Bowl: Grease a microwave-safe bowl lightly with butter or oil to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after cooking.
- Mix Ingredients: In the greased bowl, add the pancake mix, milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add Blueberries or Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the blueberries or chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter for bursts of flavor.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 1½ to 2 minutes. Cooking times can vary based on microwave wattage; the pancake should be cooked through but still moist.
- Cooling Time: Let the pancake bowl cool for about 1 minute before serving to avoid burns and help it set slightly.
- Serve: Drizzle extra maple syrup over the top for added sweetness and enjoy immediately for a warm, comforting breakfast treat.
Notes
- Microwave cooking times may vary depending on your microwave’s power; adjust accordingly to avoid overcooking.
- For extra protein and creaminess, add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top before serving.
- Avoid overcooking as it can cause the pancake to become dry and rubbery.
