It’s fair to say I’ve become obsessed with microwavable desserts in a mug. I’ve made some fudgey 60-Second Brownies, a gooey Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie, a Crumb-Topped Mug Coffee Cake, and a Blueberry Muggin.

You may think I’d be done now. Sadly, you’d be wrong. This time I’ve made a cinnamon-spiced French toast…wait for it…wait for it…in a mug. It’s soft and velvety, almost like a bread pudding, and is superb drizzled in warm syrup.

Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients recipe adapted from prudentbaby.com

1 pat unsalted butter or cooking spray

1-2 slices bread (French bread, crusty baguette, multigrain, cinnamon raisin, stale croissant, whatever!)

1 egg

3 tbsp milk

Pinch of cinnamon + salt

Syrup, for drizzling

Directions

Rub the inside of a large mug with softened butter. Alternatively, you can melt the butter a bit and brush it around or use cooking spray.

Cut the bread into bite-sized cubes and pile into mug, pressing down a bit but still leaving enough space for the egg mixture to work its way through.

In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, cinnamon, and salt. If desired, mix in a drop of vanilla (I don’t). Pour mixture over the bread until all cubes are covered. Let sit a minute to soak in.

Microwave on high for 60 seconds, then check and keep heating in 10 second intervals until egg is cooked.

Serve drizzled with warm syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or anything your little heart desires.

Enjoy!
