Tips & Tricks
Swap oat flour for a nuttier, lighter version.
Add chocolate chips or raisins for extra sweetness.
Try it with maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan option.
Pair with vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh fruit for a delightful treat.
Microwave times may vary (based on 900W–1200W). Adjust 10 seconds more/less as needed.
FAQS
Can I make this honey mug cake without eggs?
Yes! This recipe is completely eggless. Honey and milk keep the cake moist and soft without the need for eggs.
What type of flour works best?
All-purpose flour gives a classic fluffy texture, while oat flour makes it lighter and slightly nutty. You can also try almond flour for a gluten-free version.
Can I replace honey with another sweetener?
Absolutely! Maple syrup, agave, or even extra sugar/stevia work well as substitutes.
Why did my mug cake turn rubbery?
It was likely microwaved too long. Start with 70 seconds, then add 10-second bursts only if needed.
Can I use oil instead of butter?
Yes, neutral oils like sunflower, canola, or coconut oil work perfectly in place of butter.
Can I add extra flavors?
Definitely! Try cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate chips, or even a spoon of peanut butter for extra flavor.
