Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl or microwave-safe mug. Note: a shallow bowl will allow for more even cooking
  • Measuring cup and spoons
  • Spoon or small whisk to whisk batter
  • Microwave

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Pancake mix - I use this one
  • ¼ cup Milk of choice
  • 1 tsp Neutral oil like avocado oil or melted butter
  • ½ tsp Vanilla
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon optional

Instructions

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine ¼ cup pancake mix, ¼ cup milk of choice, 1 tsp neutral oil, ½ tsp vanilla, and ½ tsp cinnamon (if using). Mix until smooth. If it seems too thick, add a bit more milk. The absorbency of pancake mixes will vary.
  • Microwave on full power for 75 seconds.
  • If the center isn’t set, continue cooking in 15-second increments until cooked through.
  • Add toppings and enjoy.

Notes

  • Cook time will vary based on the microwave’s wattage.
  • This recipe works best when the pancake batter fills the bowl no more than halfway.
  • Favorite toppings: Chocolate chips, sprinkles, maple syrup, peanut butter, yogurt, vanilla icing or whipped cream, fresh berries or other fruit.
  • Storage & reheating: This pancake bowl is best enjoyed fresh. If you have any leftover pancake, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before eating.
