Ingredients
5 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour
4 tbsp sugar
1/8 tsp baking powder
1 egg
5 tbsp nonfat milk
1 tbsp oil
2 strawberries, cut into 4–5 pieces each
Instructions
1. Combine flour, sugar, and baking powder in a microwave-safe mug.
2. Add egg, nonfat milk, and oil. Stir until completely smooth.
3. Pour half of the batter into a second mug.
4. Gently press strawberry pieces into each mug.
5. Microwave one mug for 1 minute 30 seconds.
6. If center is not set, microwave an additional 15–30 seconds.
7. Avoid overcooking to prevent a rubbery texture.
8. Repeat with second mug.
9. Serve warm.
Notes
Do not overcook, as microwave baking continues slightly after heating stops.
Pat strawberries dry if very juicy to avoid excess moisture.
For an egg-free version, replace egg with 3 tbsp unsweetened applesauce.
