Hi Bold Bakers! It’s that time of year again, the dreaded Back to School!!! Whether you are in school, going to college, or work, just know you will not go hungry anymore with my 5 Sweet and Savory Microwave Mug Breakfasts. Already have an account? Summer is almost over and we are putting away our popsicle molds until next year. You can take some pleasure in knowing that just because a new school year is starting doesn’t mean there is no time for baking. My extremely popular Gemma’s Mug Meals videos became such a success because they are fast to make, they only take about a minute to cook and you get a fresh homemade cake in no time. I created these Breakfast in a Mug recipes because it is important to start everyday right. Not only can breakfast be fast but it can and should be nutritional as well. I made these recipes so you can quickly make a quality meal that will fuel you for your long days ahead. The beauty of these recipes is that they can all be made the night before. Plus, in addition to microwaving them they can also be cooked in a toaster oven!!
1. Blueberry Pancakes In A Mug
There is no griddle needed here. You can now make a pancake in the microwave in just a few minutes. When it come to flavor, I’m adding frozen blueberries because I love blueberry pancakes. Remember, you can always add bananas, strawberries or whatever you like to make them your own.
2. Sweet Potato Hash In A Mug
Our next breakfast in a mug is something you might not have known you can cook in the microwave–Sweet Potato Hash! I’m using sweet potatoes because they cook more quickly than regular potatoes, but feel free to use regular ones as well. You can use leftover cooked potatoes which makes this dish even easier and it’s the perfect way to use up your leftovers. This recipe is what my mum would call a “mix and gather ‘um”, which means, whatever you have in your fridge.
3. Peanut Butter and Jelly Oatmeal In A Mug
This Breakfast In A Mug has everything you need to kick start your day. Packed with protein, slow energy releasing carbs and some fruity sweetness. In my opinion, it ticks a lot of boxes and really is a complete breakfast I remember getting up for school in the morning and it would be pitch black outside. It was almost always cold outside so these oats were like central heating for your insides. Plus, you’ll never have to buy those packets of quick oats again since now you know the quicker, healthier way to make oatmeal.
4.Whole Wheat Raisin & Banana Muffin in a Mug
This egg free Breakfast Muffin is made with whole wheat and sweetened with natural sugars. It’s for those of us who like something sweet in the morning without ruining us for the rest of the day.
5. Omelette in a Mug
Did you know you can cook perfect eggs in the microwave? Eggs are a natural fast food, inexpensive and full of protein. Add whatever little bits you have in your fridge to make a complete meal. My mum always said if you have eggs in your fridge you can make a meal, and still to this day I have eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Δ Δ And to all those people who have tried the banana raisin muffin, you should try adding oats and dried cranberries instead of raisins for something different 🙂 It is delicious! For the omelet you say it’s vegetarian, but I am vegetarian and don’t eat eggs. Is there an egg substitute I can use?
