Oatmeal Cookie in a Mug
Description
The recipe creates a single-serving oatmeal cookie by mixing gluten-free flour, quick oats, coconut sugar, baking soda, melted coconut oil, water, a pinch of sea salt, and optionally, vanilla extract and chocolate chips. Ingredients are stirred together in a microwave-safe mug or cup and cooked in the microwave until set.
The resulting cookie has a soft consistency with the subtle chewiness of oats and a mild sweetness from coconut sugar. The coconut oil adds moistness and richness. Chocolate chips provide bursts of chocolate flavor, making it a customizable treat for one.
This mug cookie is suited to those wanting a quick, portion-controlled dessert or snack without needing an oven or batch baking. It’s convenient for solo servings or testing gluten-free flour blends. Cooling briefly before eating improves texture and safety.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour gluten-free
- 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 2 Tbsp quick oats
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1 Tbsp water
- pinch salt sea salt
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract pure
- 1 to 2 Tbsp chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add all ingredients in the order in which they appear to a microwave-safe mug or measuring cup. Stir in the chocolate chips (if adding).
- Microwave on high 40 to 60 seconds, until cookie has set up.
- Allow cookie to cool for 1 minute before enjoying.
Notes
- Gluten-free flour blends absorb liquid differently; Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 flour works well, while Pamela's may result in a greasier cookie.
- For a smaller microwave cookie, reduce ingredient amounts proportionally and microwave for 60 seconds.
