Okay, so I’ve been craving something sweet lately, but I’m also super lazy. I didn’t want to go through the whole baking ordeal – you know, getting out all the ingredients, waiting forever for the oven to preheat, then waiting even longer for things to bake. So, I went on a mission to find some quick and easy microwave dessert recipes.
First, I grabbed my phone and started scrolling through tons of recipes. I wanted something simple, something I could probably make with stuff I already had in my pantry. After a bit of searching, I found a few that sounded promising. I decided to try a mug cake first.
Mug Cake Madness
- I grabbed a mug – a big one, obviously.
- Then, I tossed in some flour, sugar, cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, and baking powder. I just kind of eyeballed the amounts, to be honest.
- Next, I added some milk, oil, and a splash of vanilla extract.
- I mixed it all up with a fork until it was all smooth and batter-like.
- I popped it in the microwave and set the timer for about a minute. I kept a close eye on it, and when it looked like a proper cake, I took it out.
- I let it cool for a second, then I dug in.
It was okay. Not like, amazing, but it definitely satisfied my sweet tooth. It was a bit dry, though. I think I might have microwaved it for too long, or maybe I needed more oil in the batter.
Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Mug
Next, I thought, let’s try a cookie. I love chocolate chip cookies! I found another recipe that seemed easy enough.
- I melted some butter in a mug in the microwave first.
- Then, I stirred in brown sugar and a bit of granulated sugar, an egg yolk, and some vanilla.
- After that, I added flour and a pinch of salt.
- Finally, the best part – chocolate chips! I threw in a good handful.
- Into the microwave it went! I cooked it for about a minute, but it probably needed a bit more time.
The cookie was gooey and warm, and the chocolate chips were all melty. It wasn’t perfect, kind of like a very undercooked cookie, but it was surprisingly good. This is going to be my go-to treat from now on. It’s ready in minutes and it’s so rich and delicious! I might add some walnuts next time for extra texture.
So, there you have it, my little microwave dessert adventure. It was fun, a bit messy, and definitely satisfied my cravings. I’m no expert, but it just goes to show, you don’t need to be a baking pro to whip up something sweet in a hurry. Give it a try sometime!
