Hi Bold Bakers!

To kick off 2020, and to celebrate the launch of my ‘Gemma’s Mug Meals Mugs,‘ I thought it would be a good idea to do a video of my top 5 Best Mug Recipes You Can Make in Minutes! These mug recipes are the ones that really took the internet by storm so you won’t want to miss them! Counting down from No.5 to No.1, you might be really surprised what made the list…

5. Burrito in a Mug (Mugrito)

What’s that? You didn’t know you could make a breakfast burrito in a mug in the microwave, tortilla and all? This protein-packed mug meal is the perfect jump start to your day. Mix it up the night before and cook it off fresh in the morning. Head over to my Burrito in a Mug recipe.

4. Jelly Donut in a Mug (Mugnut)

From the moment the video went out with this mug cake in it, it was an instant hit! A soft, cinnamon cake with a jammy center and coated in sugar… that sounds like a donut to me! Go check out my Jelly Donut in a Mug!

Hi Gemma,
Fell in love with your recipes, so I bought your cookbook. And the book is great, but I was really after all your mug recipes. You said that you have 100 mug recipes…I got 3 in the book. Sooooo, When are you going to come out with a Cook Book, with just mug recipes? I will be first in line to buy it.
Have a Great Day!

After reading all the comments, yesterday I did the brownie, but differently. I did it with butter instead of oil, I did it with dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder (I only had dark chocolate), I put milk instead of water and I put half an egg. I recommend it like that 1000%!!
