Hi Bold Bakers!
Besides Dessert, Breakfast is another important meal of the day.
I strive to make my life (and yours) easier, and still with great results. To add to my easy and popular 1 Minute Microwave recipes, I’m showing you how to take breakfast to another level with 3 BIG & BOLD microwave mug breakfasts: a Blueberry Muffin, Cinnamon Roll Cake and Chocolate French Toast!! Plus, get a BONUS video recipe for an Apple Pie Oatmeal created first for www.BiggerBolderBaking.com. So let’s get microwaving!
Blueberry Muffin in a Mug with Streusel Topping
Just like a freshly baked muffin, this muffin is light and fluffy in texture yet made so simply. Adding the streusel is a must because just like muffins it creates a lovely, sugary and crispy layer on top. It’s just delicious!

French Toast in A Mug
French toast is an incredibly easy breakfast. I love it because it uses ingredients you nearly always have on hand. And now you can make it even faster with less mess and wash up. 🙂 You can add whatever you like to your French Toast or just keep it plain Vanilla. I’ll show you how I make it BIG & BOLD with some lovely chocolate.

Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons white bread , buttered and cubed
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sugar)
- 1 tablespoon of chocolate chunks
Instructions
In a microwave safe mug, mix together the egg, milk and syrup until combined
Add the bread to the mug and press it down so they are submerged within the liquid
Add the chocolate chips to the mug and give a little stir to incorporate them in the mixture. Let it stand for 5 minutes for the bread to soak up the custard.
Microwave for roughly 1-1½ minutes. I suggest checking it after 1 minute and go from there. The timing is based on my 1200W microwave so yours might vary.
Serve with whipped cream on top and enjoy warm
