Blueberry Mug Muffins

Original Recipe: provided by my mom

 

This is a fun, quick project for kids to do (unless they dump over flour; then it becomes a laborious chore for me).  The muffins are surprisingly tasty, considering how they're made.  It's one of those things that's easy for me to say "yes" to when they ask, and it makes their day.

 

Ingredients

1/4 cup white flour

1 Tablespoon brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

pinch of cinnamon [or nutmeg]

1/2 Tablespoon butter, melted

2 Tablespoons milk

2 Tablespoons fresh blueberries

 

Directions

1) In a standard-size mug, stir flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon together until fully combined.

2) Add butter; stir until uniform.

3) Add milk; stir until uniform.

4) Mix in berries.

5) Microwave on high for 90 seconds.  Muffin will rise during cooking and sink back down afterward.
