Microwave Egg MugMuffin Recipe
Description
The Microwave Egg MugMuffin Recipe uses basic baking ingredients and a raw egg cooked inside the batter to create a muffin-like texture in a microwave-safe mug. The batter’s flour, baking powder and soda help it rise softly around the runny center egg, while cheddar cheese and scallions add a mild savory depth. Cooking time needs to be adjusted by microwave power and mug size, with visual firmness as a doneness cue.
The finished mugmuffin has a tender crumb from the starches and milk and a slightly firmer, whole egg center cooking inside. It’s best eaten warm for a comforting combination of fluffy muffin texture and a creamy egg bite. This recipe fits well as a quick small meal or snack where traditional oven heating isn’t convenient.
For variety, the recipe suggests an oven baking method, which requires a bit more time but may allow more even cooking depending on your mug. Keep a close eye in the microwave to avoid overflow or tough edges. Customizing cheese or herbs can tweak the flavor within the simple base.
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil or melted butter
- 2 tablespoons egg
- 1 tablespoon cheddar cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon scallions chopped
- 1 egg small
Notes
- Each egg measures about 4 tablespoons; whisk and measure carefully for accurate quantity.
- Microwave cooking time varies with microwave wattage and mug dimensions—monitor closely to avoid overflow or overcooking.
- You can also bake the mugmuffin in a 350°F (180°C) oven for 10-12 minutes; check early to avoid drying out due to mug shape differences.
