5 Breakfasts You Can Microwave in a Mug

Breakfast is an easy meal to skip. However, you can feel the difference in your day when you begin on an empty stomach vs. with a full belly. Instead of cooking a meal that will take you 20 minutes for just one serving, why not cut down that prep time and make breakfast in a mug? You totally can – and should, I mean – it’s super easy and practical. Not even that, but you can get away with this in the office and make all of your coworkers jealous. So, bust out your snazzy mug, pop some ingredients in there, and nuke yourself a dang good breakfast in a few minutes.

Pancakes! My personal greatest weakness. Pancakes in the morning, for lunch, for dinner – all day, everyday. Ok, so that’s probably not the greatest diet to live by. So, if you’re going to go all out, add some chocolate chips to everything, right? Over at Hungry at Midnight, Gail shares what you need to do to make chocolate chip pancakes in a mug. You simply need pancake mix, milk, sugar, and chocolate chips. You most definitely can have your panCAKE and eat it, too.
