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.

Absolutely delicious! I made a blueberry muffin mug cake yesterday, from a different recipe I found online. It was the absolute worst mug cake I have made in my life. It used an entire egg and the cake had an overwhelming egg taste. It was as tough as rubber and used so much sugar, I thought I was seeing things. I am a baker and have been for MANY years. I know what I’m doing and I followed that recipe to a T. This falls on the exact opposite side of the spectrum. My God was this cake amazing. The ingredients are spot on and the resulting cake is soft, moist and sweetened to perfection. I did make one change though. I used whole milk instead of fat free as that is all I had at home. The extra fat and protein gives a cake a little more moisture along with a better texture and taste. That is why whole milk is the most often used milk in test kitchens. This is going in my bookmarks. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.

I don’t normally take the time to leave reviews, but you deserve a good one for this recipe. I made it exactly and it was probably the best mug cake I’ve ever tried. So much so that I’m buying your book. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the nice review!
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!
