Hi Bold Bakers!
Did you know you can make toasty, crunchy Microwave Granola? Well, you can and it is incredible.
You won’t believe that it comes out of the microwave crunchy, just like baked granola but without the wait and wash up. Just mix it in one mug in minutes, pop it into the microwave and you’re done! It is real food made fast in your microwave.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day so that’s why you want to fuel yourself with good ingredients that give you energy until lunch time. This granola is dairy free, gluten free and suitable for vegans.
This Microwave Granola in a Mug recipe is totally customizable so add any fruit or nuts you like. If you don’t like coconut then replace it with a seed or nut.
To save you even more time, mix up your granola the night before and then the next day pop it in the microwave and enjoy

Microwave Granola in a Mug
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (honey or agave)
- 2 teaspoons water
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- ⅛ teaspoons salt*
- 4 ½ tablespoons rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon dessicated coconut
- 1 tablespoon pecans , chopped
Instructions
- In the large microwave safe mug, mix the maple syrup, water, oil, salt, oats and nuts until blended.
- Microwave for 1 minutes 30 seconds and stir, making sure to stir up any syrup on the bottom of the mug. (timing is based on my 1200W microwave so your timing might vary)
- Microwave for 1 minutes longer or until oats are golden brown. You will see them getting golden in color and starting to toast up. Be careful it doesn’t get too hot as it can burn.
- Let it stand for 2 to 3 minutes to cool before eating. If you have extra store in an airtight container for 5 days.
Recipe Notes
I was skeptical at first but the positive reviews gave me hope. The granola was a complete success, I did the full 2:30 but I stirred it every 30 secs and tossed in some dried mixed berries for the last 30. Totally delicious but no time for pics since I’m literally eating it as I type. ????
This recipe is too good.
I didn’t use maple syrup instead i used honey and omitted coconut, but still it turned out to be great!!!
My mom liked it very much and i will eat it as breakfast on each vegetarian day!!
I mad this for breakfast today and was pleasantly surprised at how crispy and perfectly toasty it came out in the microwave!
Fantastic!!! So easy 🙂 Thanks Gemma!
Taught this to my students today in after school and they loved it!
My granola burned in spots before It toasted. Any suggestions?
I made both the pizza mug and the granola! Yum!
I made this many years ago and it was a complete success. I must make it again. Thanks you for these clever microwave mug recipes.
Hi there! Can’t wait to try this recipe! I dislike coconut, so what can I substitute it with? Or should I be omitting it instead? Thank you!!
I’ll also try the healthy granola recipe, so same question applies for that one. I’ll be using craisins😊
Thanks again!
I probably undertoasted granola a little. Still delicious! Thanks.
