Cupcake in a mug - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! You can replace the egg with 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water (let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken) or use ¼ cup of unsweetened applesauce for a binding agent.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving.
Absolutely! Swap the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend (like almond or oat flour) and ensure your baking powder is gluten-free. The texture may be slightly denser.
Avoid overmixing the batter and microwave in 30-second intervals after the initial minute. Stop once the center is just set—overcooking leads to a tough texture.
Yes! Fold in 1-2 tablespoons of chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts after mixing the batter for extra flavor and texture.
For smaller mugs, fill only ⅓ full to prevent overflow. For larger mugs, double the ingredients but microwave in 30-second increments to avoid uneven cooking.
Yes! Let them cool completely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Yes, any milk (dairy or plant-based) will work. Just ensure it’s unsweetened if you’re watching sugar content.
