I have always been one of the biggest fans of easy mug cake recipes. They make a single serving, are super simple to make, and a quick fix to satisfy your sweet tooth. But I could never justify making cake for breakfast.
Until now.
Did you know you can use Kodiak Cakes flapjack and waffle mix to make a mug muffin? No joke, it is easily one of my favorite recipe discoveries. Especially when you factor in that it is packed with protein and 100% whole grains and tastes phenomenal. We opted for the chocolate chip mix, but I could easily see myself loving the almond poppy seed or dark chocolate!
Chocolate Chip Muffin in a Mug
Let’s start this post by answering a pretty important question… What exactly is a mug cake or muffin?
A mug cake is exactly what it sounds like. A cake made using a mug and cooked in the microwave. Minimal ingredients are stirred together right in a mug, popped into the microwave, and cooked in just a few minutes.
Tips for making mug cakes:
- Use a large mug to avoid your cakes from overflowing. I made the mistake of using a regular ol’ coffee mug the first time around. Boy, was it a mess! Grab the biggest one your have and you’ll be good to go.
- Make it molten by adding a heaping spoon full of peanut butter or chocolate hazelnut spread. Once the batter is mixed together, drop the spoonful of your nut butter of choice right in the center. Don’t mix it in! Just pop it straight into the microwave.
- Make sure ingredients are mixed well to avoid dry clumps or uneven cooking.
- Test the cook time in your microwave. Mine took two minutes, but my mom’s took one and a half.
Ingredients for Mug Muffins:
- milk
- butter
- vanilla
- Kodiak Cake Mix
- brown sugar
- additional chocolate chips
How to make a Muffin in a mug:
- Combine the milk, butter, and vanilla extract in an over sized mug. Whisk with a fork to combine.
- Stir in the Kodiak Cake Mix and brown sugar.
- Microwave one minute. Check with cake to see if cooked through. Add up to one additional minute cooking time in 30 second increments as needed.
