This may be the streusel talking, but I am totally in love with this mug cake.
I’ve been trying to make mug cakes outside of the traditional ones. So the last few weeks I worked on this blueberry muffin one. And no muffin is complete without streusel.
I love blueberry muffins. And I love that now I can make myself a single serving one for breakfast instead of making a dozen of them and then trying to eat a dozen of them in 2-3 days.
This single serving muffin is easy and fast and satisfies my muffin cravings. And the streusel is so good.
Hot Off the Press!

this recipe is delicious i had to put it in for 2 minutes to fully cook but i truly recommend
We’re so glad you loved it!
It’s very yummy however I added a few more blueberries and the streusel topping is also good but next time I would only use half since it was a bit too much for my taste.
Thanks for sharing your feedback!
This may be the best thing I’ve ever eaten from a microwave, and I am an avid microwave baker! ?
Aww, I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much!
Has this been tried with dried blueberries?
We haven’t tried it but they should work. The only thing to keep in mind is that they won’t be juicy like fresh blueberries – they will be chewier like raisins.
I usually find mug cakes a bit dissapointing. This one however was not at all! It came out nice and fluffy, moist and flavorful.
I’m so glad this turned out well for you!
omg. Delicious exactly as in the recipe!
I’m glad you liked it!
I only have frozen blueberries, would that work?
that should be fine
absolutely delicious. Friend made it for us as we were sewing. She did not change a thing in recipe and it was perfectly yummy. I just made it tonight for me and my husband. awesome!
I’m so glad you liked it!
I love this mug cake and have made it many times.
My question is do you have the same recipe for an actual cake size? I would love to make it for my whole family.
unfortunately not at this time
Just made this for breakfast with a handful of mixed berries and a couple of spoonfuls of soya yoghurt on top, amazing! I love that it’s so easy to adapt for non-dairy; I used olive spread instead of butter.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this!
I love this recipe! I don’t like many mug cakes, but I wanted to keep trying to find one I liked. This one is great!
I used strawberries instead of blueberries, and I also added a bit of vanilla extract. I also added a bit of brown sugar to this batter, as I wanted it sweeter.
Also, for the streusel I used chopped strawberries instead of butter and it tasted excellent. Best mug cake/recipe I have EVER had!
Definitely recommend this recipe, I will be making this all of the time now! 🙂
so glad you enjoyed this!
I would mix all the dry ingredients the night before, and mix the strusel and put in in a small covered bowl overnigt. Add the wet ingredients in the morning. It will be super fast, and don’t have to worry about taking 5 minutes of my coffee time to do this. I will also add 2 TBS of sliced toasted almonds ( one to the muffin mix and one to the strussel topping) to increase the protien. A dash of nutmeg might also elevate the flavor profile. Going to have this tomorrow morning. I can tell this is going to change my mornings a few days a week. A great way to mix it up. Thank you so much!
sounds like a great plan!
I just tried it today. It’s just awesome. I used coconut oil instead of vegetable oil…it added nice flavor to mug cake… it’s time to enjoy the cake…thanks
oooh, i can imagine! love coconut!
Absolutely Delicious !! Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed!
