Chocolate Chip Mug Cake 

Melty chocolatey goodness in a warm mug—sign me up. This simple mug cake resembles a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie that’s just come out of the oven. It’s the perfect treat for trying to satisfy your sweet tooth.  

Grab a mug, add three tablespoons of butter, and microwave until melted. Then add ¼ cup of brown sugar, three tablespoons of milk, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well. Now add your dry ingredients: ¼ cup of flour, ¼ teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until combined. Stir in a handful of chocolate chips and microwave for one to two minutes.  

Brownie Mug Cake  

If you’re craving ooey-gooey brownies but don’t want to make a whole pan, this mug cake is packed with chocolatey goodness. Serve with a topping of sweet vanilla ice cream and turn on your favorite show!   

In a large mug, add one tablespoon of cocoa powder, two tablespoons of sugar, one tablespoon of milk, one tablespoon of vegetable oil, ½ teaspoon of vanilla, a pinch of salt, and three tablespoons of flour. Mix until all the ingredients are combined, and microwave for one to two minutes.  

Coffee Cake Mug Cake  

This single-serve coffee cake mug cake is the perfect pairing for your morning cup of joe. With crumbly streusel in each spoonful, you’ll want to make it every weekend!   

Begin with the wet ingredients in a large mug. Mix together one egg, two teaspoons of vegetable oil, ¼ teaspoon of vanilla, and one tablespoon of sugar. Then add your dry ingredients: three tablespoons of flour, ¼ teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. 

Prepare the streusel in a separate dish. Mix a pinch of cinnamon, one teaspoon of brown sugar, ½ teaspoon of butter, a pinch of salt, and chopped walnuts or pecans (optional). Mix until it resembles a course sand.  

Once the cake ingredients are thoroughly combined and the streusel is nice and crumbly, mix the two and microwave for one to two minutes until done.
