Why French Toast Mug Cake?
This recipe was born from my love for both French toast and the need for a quick breakfast solution. It’s designed to bring a smile to your face with its tasty simplicity. Here’s a tip: always use real vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon to enhance the flavors!
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 2 slices of bread, cubed
- Butter for greasing
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar, fresh berries, or whipped cream
Instructions
- Grease a microwave-safe mug with a little butter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
- Add the cubed bread into the mug and pour the egg mixture over it. Let it soak for about a minute.
- Microwave on high for about 90 seconds, or until the cake is set.
- Carefully remove from the microwave, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
Chef’s Tip: Press down the bread cubes with a fork after adding the egg mixture to ensure every piece soaks up the flavorful liquid!
