Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • Small pinch kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Add-ins

  • 1 tablespoon fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Mix dry: In a small bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. Combine liquids: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the coconut oil, honey, and milk. Stir to blend the liquids fully.
  3. Stir batter: Add the dry mixture to the mug with the liquids and stir until the batter is smooth. If the batter seems too thick, add a small splash more milk to loosen it.
  4. Fold blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to evenly distribute them without breaking.
  5. Microwave: Microwave the mug on high for 50 to 60 seconds. Check the center by inserting a toothpick or visually—if it’s still moist, microwave in additional 10-second bursts until set.
  6. Cool and enjoy: Allow the muffin to cool in the mug for about a minute before eating to avoid burning your mouth and to let it finish setting.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh blueberries with frozen; just add them straight from the freezer.
  • For a dairy-free version, use almond milk or another plant-based milk instead of regular milk.
  • Adjust sweetness to your taste by adding more or less honey or sugar.
  • Microwave ovens vary; cooking time might need slight adjustments.
  • Use a larger mug if you want a more spread-out muffin surface.
