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
- Mix dry: In a small bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
- Combine liquids: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the coconut oil, honey, and milk. Stir to blend the liquids fully.
- 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.
- Fold blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to evenly distribute them without breaking.
- 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.
- 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.
