Blueberry muffins in three minutes? Where do we sign?

Got a hankering for something sweet, fast? It doesn’t get much faster than this.

If you’ve got a spare three minutes you can make these delicious blueberry mug muffins.

When you pick up the kids from school, they’re often hungry and begging for an assortment of chocolatey goodness. Or cookies.

Very rarely do they voluntarily reach for fruit.

How scrumptious does that look!

So why not combine the indulgent deliciousness of a muffin with the powerhouse health balls that are blueberries?

You can also make them in just under three minutes (Read: Perfect for everyone and every mum.)

We have step-by-step instructions for combining the everyday eight ingredients you will need for the recipe.

Ingredients
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ? tsp salt
  • pinch cinnamon
  • ½ Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 1-2 Tbsp frozen blueberries
Add some maple syrup to make your muffin more like an afternoon pancake. Breakfast is for any time.
Instructions
  1. In a microwave-safe mug, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well mixed.
  2. Add the butter to the mug and use a spoon to stir the mixture together until no large chunks of butter remain and the mixture looks like damp sand.
  3. Stir the milk into the butter/flour mixture. It should now resemble a thick muffin batter. If it’s too dry, add a splash more milk.
  4. Sprinkle blueberries over top and push them down into the batter. Microwave on high for approximately 90 seconds.
  5. Enjoy with a drizzle of maple syrup over top.
Bon appetite!
