Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 1 mins
Total Time: 6 mins
Cuisine: Vegan, Gluten-Free
Serves: 1 mug
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup gluten-free flour
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature. Lightly grease a microwave-safe ceramic mug with a small amount of plant-based oil or cooking spray.
- In the prepared mug, add the gluten-free flour and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together using a fork until well combined and no lumps remain.
- Pour in the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly with the fork until the batter is smooth and no dry flour patches are visible.
- Gently fold in most of the blueberries, reserving a few for topping. Distribute the blueberries evenly throughout the batter.
- Place the remaining blueberries on top of the batter, lightly pressing them just beneath the surface.
- Microwave the mug on high power for approximately 60-90 seconds. Cooking time may vary depending on microwave wattage, so watch carefully to prevent overcooking.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean. If needed, microwave in additional 10-second intervals.
- Allow the mug cake to cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying. The muffin will be hot, so handle with care.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature: Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for the best results. This helps create a smoother batter and ensures even cooking.
- Greasing the Mug: Lightly grease your mug to prevent the muffin from sticking. A small amount of plant-based oil or cooking spray works wonders!
- Mixing Technique: When combining the dry ingredients, whisk them thoroughly to eliminate lumps. This will give you a more uniform texture in your muffin.
- Microwave Wattage: Cooking times can vary based on your microwave’s wattage. Start with 60 seconds, and keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking. If it needs more time, add in 10-second intervals.
- Cooling Time: Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before digging in. It will be hot, and this short wait will enhance your enjoyment!
- Personal Touch: Feel free to customize your muffin by adding nuts, spices, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra flavor boost.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy your muffin plain, or top it with a dollop of vegan yogurt or a drizzle of maple syrup for an indulgent treat!
