Ingredients
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Maple syrup, butter, or toppings of choice (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together flour, baking powder, and sugar.
Add in milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined, making sure there are no dry pockets.
Microwave the mug on high for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until the pancake has risen and is cooked through (time may vary depending on your microwave).
Let cool slightly, then add butter, syrup, or toppings of your choice.
Notes
Microwave times may vary based on wattage. Start with 1 minute and add more time if needed in 10-second intervals.
You can add blueberries, chocolate chips, or cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the pancake fluffy.
