FAQS

  1. Can I use other types of cookies for the mug cake?

    Yes, you can experiment with different types of cookies to create your own unique mug cake.

  2. How can I make the banana mug cake healthier?

    You can substitute sugar with honey or maple syrup and use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.

  3. Can I make these mug cakes in advance?

    Mug cakes are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the dry ingredients in advance and mix them with wet ingredients just before microwaving.

  4. What if my mug cake overflows in the microwave?

    Use a larger mug to prevent overflow, and keep an eye on it while it cooks.

  5. Can I double the recipe?

    It's best to make one mug cake at a time, as doubling the recipe may result in uneven cooking.
