Description

Speedy Pancake in a Mug delivers breakfast bliss in minutes, mixing convenience with classic comfort. Microwave magic creates a fluffy single-serve breakfast that satisfies morning cravings with minimal effort and maximum flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) melted butter

Sweeteners:

  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Gather a microwave-safe ceramic mug and whisk together dry pantry staples – creating a uniform powder mixture that ensures smooth texture.
  2. Pour liquid ingredients into the dry components, stirring thoroughly until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency with no visible flour streaks.
  3. Position the mug centrally in the microwave and heat at full power for approximately 60-90 seconds, watching carefully to prevent overflow or undercooking.
  4. Allow the microwaved pancake to rest for 30-45 seconds, enabling internal temperature stabilization and preventing potential burns from immediate consumption.
  5. Carefully remove the mug, checking the cake’s structural integrity and doneness by gently pressing the center for springy resistance.
  6. Enhance the single-serve pancake with classic toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, dollop of whipped cream, or a pat of melted butter for added indulgence.

Notes

  • Customize the sweetness by adjusting sugar levels or using alternative sweeteners like honey or stevia for a personalized touch.
  • Try gluten-free flour blends to make this recipe suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, aromatic flavor that elevates the basic pancake mug recipe.
  • Swap whole milk with plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version that’s equally delicious.
