    About Blueberry Muffin Mug Cake

    Blueberry Muffin Mug Cake is a soft and fluffy single-serving cake made in a coffee mug in a microwave. It is basically your favorite blueberry muffin made in a cup.

    It bursts with fresh blueberries and gets ready in just 2 minutes.

    This blueberry mug cake recipe is my latest addition to the easy and quick dessert recipes that can be snacked at any time of the day. It is a perfect way to cater to your sweet tooth or sudden dessert cravings.

    My microwave blueberry mug cake recipe is eggless and uses simple ingredients, and the best part is that you don’t have to bake a whole cake and then worry about finishing it.

    This instant dessert recipe can be easily doubled or tripled, so you can easily make it for the entire family.

    Ingredients

    Blueberry Mug cake Ingredients.

    All-Purpose Flour makes the base of this delicious mug cake. You can use half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour for a healthier cake.

    You can also use gluten-free flour like almond flour or coconut flour for a gluten-free version.

    Blueberries – Use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen berries, then add them directly into the batter. There is no need to thaw them.

    Others – You will also need baking powder, granulated sugar, milk, unsalted melted butter, and vanilla extract.

    You can replace granulated sugar with coconut sugar or dark brown sugar for a healthier version of this muffin.

    Replace butter with coconut oil, canola oil or vegetable oil, and dairy milk with any plant-based milk to make a vegan mug cake.

    Variations – To make a variation of this blueberry mug cake, you can add a few other ingredients along with blueberries to the batter. Here are some options.

    1. Other berries like raspberries, strawberries, and cranberries
    2. Chocolate chips
    3. M&M’s
    4. Sprinkles
    5. Nuts
    6. Lemon Zest

    You can use honey or maple syrup as a sugar substitute.

    You will also need tall coffee mugs. My recipe fits perfectly in 14-ounce mugs.

    How To Make Blueberry Muffin Mug Cake

    In a small bowl, whisk together

    • 4 tablespoon (30 g) all-purpose flour
    • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
    • 2 and ½ teaspoon granulated sugar

    until completely combined.

    Note – I use raw light brown sugar in my kitchen, but you can use white granulated sugar as well.

    Tip – You can mix the ingredients directly in the mug but I personally feel that mixing in a bowl is easier and more uniform.

    Dry ingredients mixed in a bowl.

    Add

    • 3 tablespoon (45ml) milk
    • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
    • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

    to the bowl and whisk to make a smooth batter.

    Wet ingredients added to the bowl.

    Fold in 10-12 blueberries and pour the batter into a 14-ounce microwave-safe mug.

    Tip – To check if the mug is 14 oz, pour 1.75 cups of water into it. If the water fits, the mug is the right size to bake the cake.

    Blueberries added to the bowl.
    Batter poured in the mug.

    Microwave on high for 1-½ to 2 minutes, or until the batter is set.

    Note – The time of cooking may vary because the microwave power varies in strength. Start with baking the cake for 1 and ½ minutes and then increase the time in increments of 30 seconds.

    Remove the mug from the microwave and let it rest for a minute.

    Top the blueberry mug muffin with a scoop of ice cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar and serve warm.

    Ready blueberry mug cake.

    Pro Tips By Neha

    Try to make the cake in a mug with straight sides. It will help the cake to cook evenly and rise without overflowing the cup.

    You can also divide the batter into two smaller mugs to make a smaller quantity.

    Place the cup in the microwave as soon as you add the batter to the mug so that the blueberries don’t sink in at the bottom.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to make vegan blueberry mug cake?

    To make a vegan version of this cake
    Replace regular milk with any plant-based milk like rice milk, almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.
    Replace butter with vegan butter, coconut oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, or light olive oil.

    How to make a healthy blueberry cake in a mug?

    To make this cake healthier, replace all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and granulated sugar with organic raw sugar. Butter can also be replaced with light olive oil.

    Can I make a blueberry mug cake in an oven?

    Yes, use an oven-proof mug and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15 – 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve blueberry mug cake as a quick dessert on its own or top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

    You can also enjoy it as an afternoon snack or whenever the sweet craving sets in.

    Storage Suggestion

    Made an extra mug? Store it in the fridge for about a day or two.

    Cover the top of the mug with foil paper tightly and store. Eat it at room temperature or warm in the microwave for a few seconds.
