Ingredients

Scale

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
  • 1 tablespoon fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Mix dry: In a small bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  2. Combine liquids: In a microwave-safe mug, mix the coconut oil, honey, and milk thoroughly.
  3. Stir batter: Add the dry mixture into the mug with liquids and stir until smooth. If the batter seems too thick, add a small splash more milk to achieve a slightly thinner consistency.
  4. Fold blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter to distribute them evenly without breaking them.
  5. Microwave: Cook the mug on high power in the microwave for 50 to 60 seconds. Check the muffin’s center for doneness and if it remains wet, continue microwaving in 10-second intervals until set.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the muffin to rest for about one minute to cool slightly before enjoying directly from the mug.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the muffin as it can become rubbery. Microwave in short bursts once near done.
  • Use fresh blueberries for best flavor; frozen can add extra moisture and may require slight adjustment in cooking time.
  • Substitute coconut oil with any neutral oil or melted butter.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying sugar or honey quantities to taste.
  • Milk can be substituted with any dairy-free alternative for a dairy-free version.
