Recipe Notes

Cooking time will vary greatly depending on your microwave and the width and depth of the mug. I doubled the recipe to use in my 14 oz mug, so this recipe will work well in a 7 oz mug.

Always keep a close eye on your mug while in the microwave so it doesn’t overcook.

Add in all the milk. It will make a wet batter but will give your mug muffin the best result.
