A quick and comforting oatmeal muffin made in a mug, perfect for chilly mornings or quick cravings. Ready in just five minutes with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons quick oats
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons milk (any kind)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey/agave syrup)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, raisins, chopped nuts, or fresh berries (about 1 tablespoon)

Instructions

  1. In your mug, combine 3 tablespoons of quick oats, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until a thick batter forms.
  3. If adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit, fold them into the batter. Keep the total mix-ins to about 1 tablespoon.
  4. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1½ to 2 minutes. Start with 90 seconds and check the texture—if the top is firm and springs back when lightly pressed, it’s done. If not, microwave in 10-second intervals until cooked.
  5. Let your muffin sit for 1 minute to cool before enjoying.

Notes

[‘Don’t skip the pinch of salt—it enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.’, ‘Mix thoroughly to avoid dry pockets of flour or oats.’, ‘Adjust sweetness by increasing maple syrup slightly, but avoid overdoing it to maintain texture.’, ‘Watch the cooking time as microwaves vary; overcooking can make the muffin dry.’, ‘Experiment with toppings like yogurt, nut butter, or melted chocolate for extra flavor.’]
