Here in Georgia most public school children went back to school sometime this week. One of the challenges of having school age children is breakfast. Some of them have to leave so early that it is hard to get a decent breakfast in before school. I know my son leaves at 6:45, which is about thirty minutes later than last year when I was still teaching, so breakfast is a really difficult. This pancake in a mug is the perfect solution. It takes less than five minutes to make, and tastes just like a regular pancake. In a pinch, since it is in a mug, you could even take it with you – well, not on the bus if you are making in for your kids and they ride the bus, but in a car, definitely.
This recipe contains a whole egg for each pancake making it quite filling. I didn’t put any add-ins in this recipe, but I am sure it would be great to add a few blueberries or chocolate chips. I also want to warn you that it will be very hot when it first comes out, so you might want to let it cool a bit, especially if you are serving it to children.
Pancake in a Mug
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 2 Tbsps. buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- additional butter and maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Melt butter in a mug by microwaving on high for 30 second.
- Swirl the butter around in the mug to butter the sides.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir briskly with a fork until all is well combined.
- Microwave for between 1 and 1 1/2 minutes on high. (I microwaved min for 1 minute and five seconds.)
- Serve with butter and maple syrup, if desired. Pancake will be very hot, so be careful.

OK, this looks/sounds really good. I’m always skeptical of these “mug cakes” because some of them just don’t taste good, but I’m confident this one will. The ingredients make sense and are a good ratio, and I know your recipes actually WORK so I’m going to have to try this one! Thanks for posting =)

This is a fabulous idea! Perfect for me when I have to be at clinical 45 minutes away by 6:30 am!

Love this idea! We’ve done scramble eggs in a mug, but never thought to try a pancake. Thanks for sharing. If you’re interested I’m starting a linky party on Wednesdays. Your new follower, Cass cass-eats.blogspot.com

Hi, I just followed you back. Do you have a Facebook page? I have done scrambled eggs too, but never thought of posting them… thinking of some ideas now. Thanks for the follow.
Really nice quick and easy. I used normal milk instead of butter milk and tasted really good still. However it did taste a bit eggy so I advise adding sugar and lemon or golden syrup or vanilla essence.
Interesting. I’m so glad you let me know how it turned out with a different type of milk. I think maybe the tartness of the buttermilk keeps it from tasting eggy. I will have to try it this way to see what it is like.
Really nice for breakfast. I added some chocolate chips which made it a really yummy chocolate pancake! Thanks for the recipe.
Too eggy. Came out like rubber. Very dense.
No,this is not hood at all I followed every single direction and I’m very disappointed with this dish and I love all the dishes on this website but this one is a no dealer
I made this and loved it. I know this article is old but I do wish I knew the nutrition of this.
This was amazing!!! I used whole wheat flour and it still tasted great!! I’m going to make this every day!! #notproud 😂🤣🤣
Not bad, very slightly eggy, but adding a splash of vanilla and a table spoon of sugar helps alot
