Easy blueberry muffin in a mug recipe with no egg is so good and a great way to make breakfast in the microwave in 2 minutes. An individual single serving mug recipe treat you don’t have to share! 

Have you ever made a blueberry muffin in a cup? It’s such a fun breakfast or snack that just takes two minutes to cook in your microwave. One of the best muffin recipes we make weekly in the mornings.

Fluffy like our pancake in a mug, and just like when you bake them in the oven. You’ve got to try our latest one here and let us know what you think! We love this recipe. My youngest daughter came up with muffin in a mug recipe and it was fun experimenting with it. It took a few trial and errors until this blueberry in a mug recipe was born. A perfect little treat she can make all by herself.

Can you make blueberry muffin in a mug with muffin mix?

Yes, we have even made Instant Pot blueberry muffins with it. I love boxed Krusteaz brand mixes. If you make the batter as directed you can use that instead. Still spray the inside of your mug and only fill 1/3 way full. Then you can follow the same timing below and adjust as necessary since the amount you add may be slightly different. Test with a toothpick in the center and add 30 more seconds until it comes out clean.

How Long to Cook Blueberry Muffin in a Microwave

2-3 minutes for each serving is typical depending on how much batter you are cooking at a time. If you are using a large mug, only fill 1/3 of the way full or it won’t cook all the way thru. Microwaving 1-2 mug fulls at a time will give you the best results.

Can you bake blueberry muffin in the microwave without a mug?

Yes, we’ve done this with banana bread in a mug but in silicone baking cups, those are great for this. Set a few on a plate in case there is a little overflow. Pour the batter into microwave-safe silicone muffin cups or a microwave-safe muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Use medium high setting at 70-80% power to avoid overcooking the edges while the center remains undercooked.

Once again, typically, it takes about 2-4 minutes to cook a muffin in the microwave. Start by microwaving for 2 minutes, then check adding 30 seconds if they aren’t done. Great as zucchini blueberry muffins too.

If you’ve never made a mug muffin recipe for microwave it’s really quite simple. Just mix the dry ingredients together in your mug, add your wet ingredients, mix the batter and then stir in blueberries.

Ingredient Notes

You will need a rather large microwave safe mug or else it will overflow and a spoon to mix everything together to make a batter.

You will need to base this off All purpose flour, I haven’t made this with wheat flour, and unsure it would work since it is much more dense

Brown sugar creates a deep sweet and some Sugar, white granulated too. I haven’t tried this with a sugar free alternative but have heard it works well too.

A pinch of Baking powder allows it to rise properly, mix with the dry ingredients first before incorporating the wet so it stays active.

You want to add a bit of salted Butter or a dairy free plant based alternative works, Country Crock has a great substitute.

You might want to add a bit of almond or Vanilla extract, just a bit for added flavor but that is optional.

For Milk 2% or whole is best or it will be a bit dry, almond milk could be used too.

And in this case we do recommend that you use fresh blueberries into this if you have access to them.

Can you use frozen blueberries?

I haven’t used frozen blueberries but I suppose you could. I would defrost them first though in a colander so it can drain or else the added moisture will likely make your baked goods a bit too wet. You could add a bit of crumb topping for muffins on top too.

What’s nice about this microwave muffin recipe in a mug is that it is egg free and requires no baking which makes it a great easy rv meal for a quick and easy dessert recipe too.

Yes, we still bake our favorite moist zucchini bread, but when we travel it’s nice to have  microwave mug meals on hand. Also, when it’s blazing hot outside during the summertime there is NO way I am turning on my oven.  If you’re looking for other easy treats to make, try these:
