Healthy microwave mug cake recipes

Posted by Rehan on July 5th, 2022

The microwave gets a bad rap these days, but when you’re running late or only have 10 minutes between errands, tossing a few ingredients in a mug for a healthy and tasty meal in five minutes flat doesn’t sound too shabby. And all that hype about microwaves causing health concerns—well, it’s just that. (There’s not really enough evidence to suggest they release enough radiation to be harmful.)

These breakfast recipes are surprisingly flavorful and can be carried to work and cooked on the spot. If you’re really anti-microwave, most of them can easily be made in the oven if you have a few extra minutes to spare. While the desserts might not be the most nutritious, they are the most delicious. And who would say no to chocolate cake that only takes five minutes? Not us.

1. Healthy 1-Minute Blueberry Muffin

Ok, so it might actually take two minutes. Inspired by the blueberry muffins at Starbucks, this version is healthier, faster to make, and tastier. Banana adds a little extra potassium and staying power to this breakfast of champions. And if you’re in it for the long haul (12 minutes), you can make it in the oven.

2. Single-Serving Clean Chocolate Mug Cake

It’s like dessert for breakfast—but good for you (and it only takes five minutes to whip up). Whole-wheat flour, cocoa powder greek yogurt, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup, this mug cake is perfect for those days when you want a sweet start to the day. Choco melts mug cake is best to have.

3. Paleo Cinnamon Roll in a Mug

We’re all about this pastry in a mug, especially when it’s cooler outside and we want cinnamon in everything. This mug treat delivers all of the comforting flavors of a cinnamon-roll breakfast, but with more fiber and nutrition. And tbh, if you’re running short on time, skip the frosting—you won’t miss it (that much).

4. Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Mug Cake for Two

The perfect excuse to eat cake for breakfast—after all, it’s oatmeal and peanut butter, what cake could be healthier? Just mix it up, toss in the microwave, and you’re out the door with a breakfast that won’t leave you frantically rummaging through your desk for snacks one hour later.

5. Coconut Flour Pancake in a Mug

Pancake à la souffle. It’s fluffy, it’s a pancake, and it’s in a mug—it’s everything you could want. Add some blueberries for a sweeter version or cheese if you’re craving savory. Just don’t forget to grease the mug with butter or else you’ll have a very sad-looking mug at the end of your meal.

6. Sweet Potato Hash in a Mug

This one takes a bit longer—11 minutes—but we’re talking potatoes here. The sweet potatoes mixed with savory veggies and cheese are a perfect combination, not to mention sweet potato’s great nutritional benefits, like its anti-cancer and anti-inflamatory properties. The touch of rosemary at the end adds the perfect finishing flavor.

7. 2-Minute Egg Omelet in a Mug

Not to worry, egg lovers, we’ve got you covered too. This blend of spinach, peppers, and tomato is awesome, but you can substitute any veggies or meat for a create-your-own style.
