Hi Bold Bakers!
It’s time for more Mug Meals and this time it’s 3 breakfasts you probably didn’t know you could make in the microwave!!! Pop Tart in a Mug, Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal and Burrito in a Mug (Mugrito).
Breakfast has got to be the one meal that you never really know what you want or have the time to make it. I’m really bad at deciding what I want for breakfast, but one thing is for sure whatever it is I want it fast, and that’s why Mug Breakfasts are so great.
My Pop Tart in a Mug is something that is normally cooked in a toaster for breakfast but I’ll show you how good it is from the microwave!
Oatmeal is my go-to breakfast. I like to think of it as central heating for your body. Now, day in and day out, Oatmeal can start to get a bit boring, that’s why I like to give mine a little pizazz. I gave my Oatmeal a makeover and filled it full of the flavors of a Cinnamon Roll! Cinnamon inside and cream cheese sweetness on the outside. Let’s face it, if your breakfast doesn’t come with frosting on top you’re not living.
Don’t want sweet? How about a Burrito in a Mug? It is equally as good as one from a taqueria, except it will be cheaper and you are in control of what ingredients went in. You know those times you have leftover cooked sausage, rice or potatoes from last night’s dinner? Add those to your breakfast burrito. No waste and no fuss.
1. Pop Tart in a Mug
Just because they started in a toaster doesn’t mean we can’t change things up and pop them into the microwave. Find my Pop Tart in a Mug recipe here.
2. Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal
No store bought sachets for us thanks! This Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal is faster to make and you know what went into it. Find my Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal recipe here.
3. Mugrito (Burrito in a Mug)
Who can say no to a Burrito? Not me that’s for sure. This Mugrito is a punch in the face with flavor and protein…POW! Find my Mugrito recipe here.
I’m sure by now you know that if it can be made in a mug, I have made it, like Mug Pizza, Microwave Jelly Donut (Mugnut) and 50+ more sweet and savory recipes. Make sure to check them all out!

Mugrito ♥
so i was going to make a poptart in a mug for breast feast turns out my older brother used up all the milk is there Any substitutes for it 🙁
Hi Gemma, can we use oatflout instead of rolled oats?
Hi Gemma, my strawberry pop tart didn’t turn out very well. The jam somehow “exploded” to the TOP of the pastry and the pastry was all mushy. Can you tell me what is the possible reason for that happening because I would love to try a pop tart but I wasn’t allowed to do I thought of making one in the microwave. I would like to try this again if I have the chance.
My brother is a huge pop tart fan so the pop tart is a winner even though I didn’t try it.
So I had to keep playing the beginning of this video about 50 times b/c as soon as my kids saw the sprinkles and heard the music they started dancing. It’s a sign! I have to do all these now. They love pop tarts and I haven’t had luck finding home recipes so this is a God send.
I’ve been thinking about the mac and cheese for several days and finally made it this morning. It was very delicious! Nice consistency of ingredients. Smooth and creamy. Very satisfying. All in minutes. Now I want another mug of it. haha I used sharp cheddar and whole milk. I also want to try the herb biscuit or potato soup next. mmmmm

Thank goodness for microwave mug breakfast. I had the oatmeal for my lazy Sunday morning breakfast and it’s not only super easy & fast, it’s satisfying too. Thank you Gemma as always.
Hi Gemma, my daughter and I are stoked to try your breakfast mug meals! One question though, I just found out through reading the comments that your mugs are only 6-8 oz, they seemed bigger. We’ve already bought some 16 oz mugs to use, and they are wide mouth. Will they still work? Should I double the recipes? Can I?
Hi Gemma , I am following your all shows without fail. Day by day it is becoming more innovative and interesting . I can’t wait to try your doughnut recipe . Thanks.
