Hi Gemma as my microwave is only 950 watts, I turned to google to find me a chart for the time difference in cooking, here is what I found which I think would be extremely useful to all us cooks who adore your recipes in the microwave. an example of what you can find is below. you can find all the different watts of microwaves. Instructions: Find the cooking time indicated in your Microwave Recipe under ‘Recipe Time 1200 WATTS.’ The time next to it under ‘Convert to 950 WATTS’ is the time you should use instead of the time… Read more »
Hey Gemma!
I really love your recipes. Where did came up with the idea of mug meals–why didn’t I think of it??
The best thing about your mug recipes is the they are all single serving(1 person) and they are already portioned out.
I tried choco chips cookie in a mug, it was fantastic and I ate it all off before I could even take a shot.
Hi Gemma! As mother of a food allergic lactating baby, I’ve been on an extremely strict diet for the past 8 months, no dairy, no soy, no nuts, no animal protein, and no processed foods for me, for a while that meant I was only eating fresh fruits and vegetables… needless to say, I’ve lost a lot of weight and I’m hungry all the time. Looking for something I could snack on considering the few ingredients I’m allowed to eat, and that was quick and easy to make, I ran into your banana bread mug cake. I just made it… Read more »
Hi Gemma I love baking as a hobby and I really admire you and your work!:) I tried some of the mug cakes (Oreo, mug brownie and Nutella brownie) recipes and they turned out great.I have a few doubts Gemma. 1. My mugs r deep, I don’t have teacups like the ones u use. The cakes rose to almost 3/4th of the height of the mug, how come that doesn’t happen in the mugs you use? Is it cos they r wide rather than tall? If I had used all the batter in my mug, it would have overflown! So… Read more »
Hello! not sure if this is a stupid question, but I’m genuinely wondering if the upside down cake, or the strawberry cobbler would work with other fruits as well? With the same recipe as here? Or would it need more of other ingredients if I use a different fruit? Thx!
Hi gemma….what should be the approximate baking time of the mug cakes in an OTG
Hi Gemma,
I’ve been wondering if you could tell me how I can stop my mug cakes from forming a gummy texture after I cook them. No matter how many times I make them, they always never have a fluffy, cakey consistency like I expect them to.
The pineapple upside down cake didn’t come out right. The pineapple was distributed through the cake with small crunchy chunks of the brown sugar / butter – not on the top or on the bottom. What would make it do that?
Hi Gemma,
I would like to know if I can make batches for two days? So I don’t have to be measuring up ingredients in the morning.
Hey. Can we add chocolate chips instead of blue berries in banana bread?
Btw, thank you so much for these mug recipess!! ❤❤
