Jelly Donut in a Mug (Mugnut)
Description
The recipe starts by melting butter in a microwave-safe mug, then mixing in flour, egg yolk, sugar, milk, baking powder, and cinnamon to form a batter. A spoonful of strawberry jam is placed in the center before microwaving for about 45 seconds until set on top but still moist inside. The result is a warm, tender donut with a gooey jam filling.
Sprinkling cinnamon sugar on top adds a slight crunch and warmth. This dessert is ideal for a quick, individual portion and can be enjoyed straight from the mug.
Variations include baking the mugnut in an oven for a firmer texture or swapping the egg for mashed banana or applesauce for an egg-free option. Cooking times may vary based on microwave wattage and mug size.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter 1 oz/30 g
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon strawberry jam
- cinnamon sugar for garnish
Notes
- Batter can be prepared in advance for quicker meal assembly.
- Adjust microwave cooking time based on your wattage and mug dimensions to avoid overflow or overcooking.
- Egg can be replaced with 2 tablespoons mashed banana or applesauce for egg-free mugnuts.
- As an alternative, bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes, checking doneness as oven times vary.
