Notes

  • Oven: If you don't have a microwave, you can bake this in a preheated oven in a ramekin of cupcake liner. Bake until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 325F for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Air Fryer: If you want to bake this in the air fryer, preheat the air fryer to 300°F. Bake until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Let cool before eating.
  • See trouble shooting notes above!
