Ingredients
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoon butter, softened
4 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt
Cinnamon sugar, to taste
Instructions
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a small bowl until well combined.
Add softened butter, milk, and vanilla; stir until smooth and pourable.
Lightly grease a 16-ounce microwave-safe mug and pour in the batter.
Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds until the top looks set but remains moist inside.
Run a knife around the edges, invert onto a plate, or enjoy straight from the mug.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar while warm to create a classic donut crust.
Notes
Mix the butter evenly to avoid lumps.
Microwave times may vary; start with 60 seconds and test for doneness.
For a dairy-free option, replace milk with almond milk and butter with coconut oil.
