Microwave Breakfast Cookie in a Mug
Description
The Microwave Breakfast Cookie in a Mug starts by mashing a medium banana in a microwavable mug, then stirring in peanut butter, honey, and milk for moisture and flavor balance. Rolled or quick oats and raisins are folded in to provide texture and chewiness. The mixture is microwaved for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until it firms on top, depending on microwave wattage.
This method creates a soft, cake-like cookie that is warm and slightly gooey inside with a natural sweetness from banana and honey. Peanut butter adds richness and nutty flavor while raisins contribute bursts of chewiness and additional sweetness.
The recipe is convenient for preparing a small portion breakfast or snack with basic pantry ingredients and minimal cleanup. The cookie can be eaten directly from the mug warm or allowed to cool slightly. Variations with nuts or seeds can add crunch and nutrition.
Cook times vary by microwave capacity and mug size, so watch closely to avoid overcooking or spilling. Mixing the batter the night before speeds up morning preparation.
Ingredients
- ½ banana medium
- 1 ½ tablespoons peanut butter
- ½ tablespoon honey (or agave)
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 4 tablespoons oats (rolled or quick oats)
- 1 tablespoon raisins (seeds or nuts)
Notes
- This mug cookie can be prepared the night before and microwaved fresh in the morning for a quick breakfast.
- Microwave cooking time depends on your appliance's wattage and the mug's shape and size, so watch carefully to prevent overcooking or overflow.
- Adding seeds or nuts can increase texture and nutrition if desired.
- The 6-ounce mugs used are relatively small; adjust quantities and cook times accordingly for larger mugs.
