Microwave Mug Breakfasts for Back to School: 5 Sweet & Savory Recipes - Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking
Gemma's Bigger Bolder BakingMicrowave Mug Breakfasts Back to School
Hi Bold Bakers! So Summer is almost over,and whether you are heading back to school,
college or work, you will go hungry in themorning no more because I have five sweet
and savory breakfasts in a mug for you. Solet's get microwaving!
The beauty of these recipes is that they canall be made up the night before and kept in
the fridge. And not only can they be cookedin the microwave, they can also be cooked
in a toaster oven as well.
For our first recipe, there is no griddleneeded: It's a pancake in a mug.
In a microwavable mug, we're going to addin our flour and our baking soda and mix them
together. To this we're going to add in ouregg, milk, flavorless oil, and maple syrup
or honey and then whisk until smooth.
Blueberry pancakes are my favorite, so I'mgoing to add in some frozen blueberries to
my batter but you can add in any flavor orfruit that you like. Before you know it, you're
going to have a lovely warm breakfast.
The timing that I give for cooking is basedon my microwave which is 1200 watts so depending
upon the wattage of your microwave, your timingmay vary. And as always, all of my recipes
and instructions can be found on www.BiggerBolderBaking.com.
Our pancake in a mug took no time at all andwe didn't even need a griddle. It smells lovely,
it looks fantastic. The blueberries have allburst and they're a lovely color. Just before
I try it, I'm going to garnish the top.
I like to add even more blueberries on top.And it is a must to pour over maple syrup.
This looks lovely and it took no time at all.
This is only our first mug breakfast, so let'smove on to the next one.
My next breakfast in a mug is my very firstmug recipe and that's Sweet Potato Hash.
Peel your sweet potato and cut it into smallcubes. You want small cubes because they cook
much faster in the microwave.
I'm using a sweet potato because they're reallygood for you but you can also use a regular
potato.
Next add your sweet potato to your microwaveablemug and then cover them with cold water.
Now I'm going to put these sweet potatoesin the microwave and cook them. It works really
well and fast. You just have to cook themfor a few minutes.
After a few minutes, you'll know your sweetpotatoes are cooked because they go a bright
orange color and they're tender in the middle.
Now we're going to strain the water off ourpotatoes and add in the rest of the ingredients
for our hash. So this is not a complicatedrecipe. Just go to your fridge, see what little
bits you have in there and add it to yoursweet potatoes.
I had peppers, a little bit of red onion,some rosemary, grated cheese, and butter.
Now mix all these lovely flavors together.So this is what mum would call a mix and gather
um, which pretty much means whatever you havein your fridge. You can nearly always make
a meal.
Not only does the potato hash look gorgeousbut it smells fantastic too. All we want to
do is pop this into the microwave and heatup all of these ingredients together and get
them nice and warm. Get the cheese to melt.It's going to be delicious.
Can you believe that we made this hash inthe microwave? It looks beautiful, it smells
great, but just before I try it I'm goingto add a little bit of extra stuff on top.
I like to top off my potato hash with somemore chopped rosemary and a fresh sprig on
top. It just goes to show you that by beingcreative with a few ingredients, you can make
a wonderful meal.

me on Periscope, you would have gotten a sneakpeek at the making of this very video so don't
forget to follow me there.
This next recipe is truly a complete breakfast.It is high in protein, it has slow energy
releasing carbs and has a little bit of sweetness.It is Peanut Butter and Jelly Oatmeal in a
Mug.
In a microwavable mug, we're going to addin some rolled outs, water, some nut milk
or regular milk, and peanut butter.
And that's all you need. This is such a greatrecipe for back to school. And in the winter
time, oats are like central heating for kids.Oats are nature's fast food so you no longer
need to buy those little packets that sayquick cooking oats because these are the guys
you want to use.
When you cook your own recipes, you know exactlywhat's in there and you can make it just as
fast.
When you see your oats start to heat up, stopthe microwave and give them a little stir.
Because if you don't they have a tendencyto get too hot and overflow.
Our oats are done. I can smell the lovelywarm peanut butter. But this breakfast is
not complete until we add on our jelly.
To serve my oatmeal, I like to add extra choppedpeanuts on top which give really good texture.
And of course this dish would not be completewithout some jelly.
This sweet and almost salty combination worksreally well.
If you're thinking to yourself that you'renot the biggest peanut butter and jelly fan
then I challenge you try this because it'smore like a decadent dessert than it is an
oaty breakfast.
Our next breakfast in a mug is a lovely wholewheat, egg-free Banana & Raisin Muffin.
In a microwavable mug, add in your bananaand mash it up really fine. I like to use
banana as a substitute for egg and you canalso use apple sauce.
To the mashed banana, I'm going to add inthe rest of the muffin ingredients: whole
wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt,milk, and maple syrup. You can also use honey
or agave. Then mix all of these ingredientswell together.
Now just add your raisins and gently foldthem in. I like to add a few extra on top
for color.
This little healthy breakfast muffin cooksjust like my other mug cakes. Be careful not
to overcook him because it will get rubberyso keep a little close eye on it.
Our lovely breakfast muffin is done and itsmells fantastic with all that lovely warm
cinnamon. This is a really great breakfastbecause it's made with whole wheat and all
natural sugars.
To decorate our muffin, I like to add somesliced banana on top and dust it with some
cinnamon for extra flavor.
This muffin is a perfect little sweet treatfor breakfast, but before I fill up on this
I want to show you one more savory breakfastin a mug.
Our next breakfast in a mug is something mymum showed me how to make when I was a very
young girl and I've been making it for allthese years. It's an omelette in a mug.
In a large microwaveable mug, add in youreggs, salt, pepper, chopped scallions, some
chopped parsley, and a little bit of milk.If you don't want to use milk, you can always
use water to keep it dairy free.
If you have eggs in your fridge, you havebreakfast, lunch and dinner and you should
have no reason to go hungry.
Our easy omelette is ready. Now eggs cookso fast in the microwave. All you have to
do is give them a little bit of a stir whilethey're cooking. You can see how far they've
gone and you can cook them to perfection.If you like them nice and soft then that's
the way you can have them.
Our omelette is done and it looks great. Nowyou know how to make fast, hot eggs for yourself
every morning.
This delicious omelette does not need a lotso I'm going to add a little extra scallions
on top and some freshly chopped parsley.
This omelette, scrambled eggs, even poachedeggs, you can make them all in a microwave
so I really urge you to try this out.
No matter what your appetite or flavor. Sweetor savory. These breakfasts in a mug are guaranteed
to hold you over until lunch and save youloads of time.
