Equipment
- Microwave-Safe Mug
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Microwave
- Toothpick
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 medium egg at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup whole grain rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon mini semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
- Fresh raspberries to serve
Instructions
- Grease a single-serving mug with baking spray and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, egg, oil, and vanilla extract using a fork until fully combined.
- Add the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the wet mixture. Gently fold them in until just incorporated.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips, reserving some to sprinkle on top later.
- Transfer the prepared oatmeal mixture into the greased mug and sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top for extra flavor.
- Microwave on high for 2 minutes, checking for doneness after 2 minutes. The mug cake is done when it rises and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If not fully cooked, microwave for an additional 30 seconds.
- Let the oatmeal mug cake cool for 1–2 minutes before enjoying. For a beautiful finish, top with fresh fruits like raspberries and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint. Enjoy!
Notes
- Greasing the mug before pouring the oatmeal batter makes it easier to enjoy and ensures a stick-free oatmeal experience.
