Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3 tbsp biscuit mix
- 2 tbsp instant oatmeal
- 1 tbsp cinnamon sugar (adjust to taste)
- Pinch sea salt (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 oz applesauce (about half of an applesauce cup)
Topping
- Icing (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the mug: Choose a microwavable mug suitable for cooking and set it on a flat surface.
- Mix the ingredients: Add the biscuit mix, applesauce, instant oatmeal, and a pinch of sea salt (if using) into the mug. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined to create a smooth batter.
- Microwave the muffin: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. The muffin will rise and set during this time.
- Add toppings and serve: Carefully remove the mug from the microwave using oven mitts if needed. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top and drizzle with icing if desired. Enjoy your muffin warm with a spoon.
Notes
- Microwave wattages vary, so if your muffin isn’t fully cooked after 1 minute, microwave in additional 10-second intervals.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free biscuit mix and oatmeal.
- Adjust cinnamon sugar according to your sweetness preference.
- Optional icing adds extra sweetness but can be omitted for a less sweet muffin.
- This recipe scales well for a quick single-serving treat, but can be multiplied and cooked in batches.
