Microwave Coffee Cake in a Mug




I’ve been seeing alot of easy  “mug desserts” on Pinterest lately and figured I should try one out. I chose the coffee cake, which I found on Prudent Baby. She gives step by step directions, but I have also included the recipe on this post.

We liked it!

It was warm and comforting.  Of course the topping was our favorite! I made a few changes to the recipe….I used egg beaters….just a tablespoon….and a bit less cinnamon then called for on the topping.

I found a regular sized mug was perfect for this. I sprayed it with some Pam so it would come out easily.  I wanted to see what the bottom looked like and also because I wanted to cut it in half to share with Brent.

I cooked it on high only 1 minute, and did the toothpick test. The bottom was done perfectly.

It was alot of fun making this and I’m sure I’ll make it again. One mug was just right for the two of us!
