Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
- 1 tbsp butter, melted (or vegetable oil)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips or berries (optional)
- Maple syrup or powdered sugar, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined. - Add Wet Ingredients:
Pour in the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps. - Add Toppings (Optional):
Stir in any optional mix-ins, like chocolate chips, berries, or nuts. - Microwave the Pancake:
Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, checking at the 1-minute mark. The pancake should rise and look set, but soft in the middle. If needed, microwave for an additional 10-20 seconds. - Serve:
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!). Top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, or any other toppings of your choice. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- For a fluffier pancake, make sure to not over-mix the batter, and be careful not to overcook it in the microwave.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar depending on your preference.
- Feel free to add any other mix-ins you like, such as nuts, dried fruit, or cinnamon, for a more customized pancake experience.
- For a dairy-free version, use a non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk and dairy-free butter or oil.
