Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 slice bread
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 slice of bread, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
- Take a microwave-safe mug and tear the slice of bread into small pieces. Place the torn bread into the mug.
- In a separate bowl, crack the egg and whisk it lightly with a fork. Add the 2 tablespoons of milk and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture over the torn bread in the mug, ensuring all the bread pieces are soaked.
- Add 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to the mug. Stir everything together until the bread is evenly coated and the mixture is well combined.
- Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't overflow.
- After 1 minute, check the doneness. If it’s still wet in the middle, microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds until fully cooked.
- Once done, carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!). Let it cool for a minute before enjoying your French Toast Mug Cake.
- For an extra touch, drizzle some additional maple syrup on top or sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips
- Choose the right bread: Use slightly stale bread for better absorption and texture. White or brioche works best.
- Whisk thoroughly: Ensure your egg and milk are completely blended to avoid dry spots in your mug cake.
- Don't overmix: Stir just until ingredients are combined to keep a soft, tender texture.
- Watch your microwave time: Cooking times can vary, so start at 1 minute and add 10-15 seconds if needed.
- Let it rest: Allow the mug cake to sit for a minute after cooking to complete the cooking process and prevent burning.
- Get creative with toppings: Try whipped cream, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
