Happy Saturday, friends. I hope you’re enjoying the weekend so far?
As you know from my recent posts, my kiddos have been off school for the Easter holidays, aka. Spring break. They go back to school on Monday.
As a single parent, I can safely say these past 2 weeks have been massively hectic and stressful.
I love having them here. It means morning lie-ins now they’re older (whoop!), but it also sucks all my time away, which means less time for making desserts (boo!)
That’s how this Blueberry Mug Muffin was born…
Out of sheer desperation for a decent breakfast when you’re that busy that time is limited to an all time low!
Usually when I’m too busy, I just skip breakfast altogether. That’s bad, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, they say.
All you need for this blueberry mug muffin is a few staple ingredients, a small amount of blueberries, and around 5 minutes of your time.
There’s no excuse for me to skip breakfast now!
This blueberry mug muffin has sweet plump blueberries throughout the batter. The muffin itself is delicately spiced with warming cinnamon, but the cinnamon is optional.
I could totally get into a habit of eating one of these blueberry mug muffins every. single. day!
I make these blueberry mug muffins and chocolate brownies in a mug for my kids all the time. Not only for breakfast, but as a quick snack when the hunger pangs strike.

This Blueberry Mug Muffin is quick & easy to make. Sweet plump blueberries in a delicately spiced muffin made in the microwave in less than 5-minutes.

- 1 tbsp milk

I absolutely love single serving recipes like these! This blueberry mug muffin looks so scrumptious!
Oooh, I love a good muffin so thank you! Plus I love your mug – too cute!
I love mug muffins! Especially blueberry (my favourite) This looks perfect 🙂
This looks like one of the best mug muffins I have ever seen, I have to try this!
Whoa, this is a fabulous mug recipe! Moist and packed full of berries! I’ve failed at my attempts to develop really good chocolate mug cake—but the family doesn’t mind eating my less than ideal attempts 🙂
I love this recipe, I have a few mug cake ones but not a muffin one and I adore blueberries. I think these 1 serving recipes are great because lets face it we don’t always need a whole cake / batch of sweet things hanging around the house tempting us when we can instantly satisfy our craving with a single serving treat like this one! Love it 😀
This has to be one of the best mug muffin recipes I have seen! Can’t wait to give it a try!
My oh My does this look delicious, but then again EVERYTHING you make looks delicious!
Sounds like a great way to ease those hunger pains!
