Berrylicious Microwave Minute Muffin

Take a little less than a quarter cup of quick oats, 1 egg, a small handful of blueberries, and some brown sugar or Stevia if you like things sweet, and mix it all up in a coffee mug. If you want your muffin a little moist a tablespoon of plain soymilk or almond milk will do it.

Then place in the microwave for 1 min. Watch it carefully! This could overflow!

If the muffin top does not look firm, place back in 30 sec at a time.

Once ready, flip mug upside down onto a plate and slice some fresh strawberries to decorate.

Super yummy! I served this to my sister and she was so impressed with my quick healthy cooking skills. Try it! Let me know what ingredients you end up using! There’s a lot of room for creativity.

  1. I’m so gonna try this, gotta check on the quick oats though, i don’t exactly know what it is (i’m dutch haha) and i’m not allowed to have wheat.

  2. I made this for breakfast this morning and it was amazing! I have two little boys and I litterally have two minutes to eat, this is great and so quick!

  3. Made mine savory and it turned out great!

    this was really interesting. i used about half a pack of quaker cinnamon and spice flavored oatmeal, an egg, some brown sugar and a tiny bit of silk soymilk. like it!!! though it could have been healthier had i just used egg white and original oatmeal as opposed to a flavored one. made a nice snack on a late night

  5. Ahhhh delicious!! Your blog is amazing! I used regular oats and it turned out just fine. I also used half of a mashed banana, a pinch of brown sugar, and a splash of rice milk. :) I smeared about a tablespoon of pb on the top as an extra treat. Thank you!

  6. I’ve made this most mornings since I found this on pinterest! Its perfect breakfast…fast, good morning fuel, and a good balance of nutrients. I change mine up most of the time…apple cinnamon, blueberry, strawberry, plain with just a touch of brown sugar, and I even added a touch of cocoa powder and its a great fix if you are craving something sweet! I add milk, but its still on the dry side but it doesn’t bother me. I cut it into bite size pieces, put it back into the mug, and eat it on my way to work. SUPER FOOD!

    I tried this with blueberries AND strawberries and neither worked for me. They tasted weird and smelled kind of bad. But, when I mashed in 1/2 a banana in there and a bit of brown sugar – AMAZING. I leave it in the microwave for 1min30sec.

  8. I tried this one with oats, egg and vegan choc chips instead of the fruit for my mum… its grew heaps and almost exploded lol… she wasnt a fan for the slight ‘eggy’ taste but ate it anyway…

    I made another one for myself purely vegan. I used oats, no-egg replacer, argave syrup and goji berries [that I soaked in boiling water to fatten up again]… it cooked ok, tho stayed small :’[ …and it was a bit chewy from the egg replacer… so next time will try it with some baking powder see if that will make it grow…

    I also discovered adding protein powder is a total disaster lmao.

    I will accomplish a vegan version one day that is SUCCESSFUL! ahaha <3

    I made one with 1/2 a banana, 2 tbsp of peanut butter powder, 1 tbsp flax meal, 1 egg, 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk, 1 pkt. stevia. It came out a little dry-might add another tbsp of almond milk next time. Tasted great!

  10. Natasha says:

    I tried this recipe the other day with sugar and mixed frozen berries. I didn’t have the problem with it being a bit gooey or eggy. It was a bit dry though and filled me up for hours.
    I tried it a second time today, 1/2 cup oats, 1 egg, about 1/4 cup milk, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp sugar free jam and gave it a good mix. Into the microwave for approx 2 minutes and it was moist, sweet and delicious. I think I’ve found my new sneaky treat thanks!!!!

  11. Just made this today, it took 5 minutes tops and it amazed me! Into a mug, I added about quarter cup instant oats, 1 egg white, half a tbsp of sugar, and a tablespoon of sugarfree strawberry jam. I mixed it up, put it in microwave stopped it before it overflowed (~30 sec), waited a bit, turned microwave back on for ~20 sec and it was well cooked. Can’t wait to use the other sugarfree jams I have (I’m not big into buying fresh berries). Quick, easy, and tasty breakfast, so glad you shared this :)

  12. Thanks for this! Made mine with regular oats and it was so yummy. I used strawberries instead of blueberries, a dash of brown sugar and a teaspoon of almond milk. For the people who couldn’t get the same consistency w/ regular oats: add a small amont of milk, and microwave for a lil bit longer, about 2 mins, the crunch from the reg oats is great!

  13. Just tried this… It came out a little too eggy and it didn’t raise very well though I microwaved it for about 2-3 minutes. The egg was still raw after 1 minute… I also used fresh strawberries instead of blueberries. I guess this recipe needs a little more than a quarter cup of oats or maybe a smaller egg ;) Giving it another try tomorrow morning…

  14. I came across this recipe on Pinterest awhile back and referred to it this morning when I was feeling less than inspired to make breakfast. This is an awesome option for a quick, satisfying breakfast or snack.

    I made mine with somewhere between 1/4 to 1/2 cut of Quaker one-minute oats, a large brown organic egg, approx. 1 tsp of regular milk, a sprinkle of brown sugar, some ground flax seeds, and blueberries. I microwaved it in pretty normal-sized, ceramic mug. No problems at all with eggy messes!

    A couple thoughts to the people who are having trouble with the results:
    - Not all mugs/microwave containers will cook the same. Perhaps try a different container?
    - Even 10 extra seconds of microwaving can make a big difference. After the first minute mine hadn’t risen and was only filling half of my mug. I added an extra 30 seconds (as the recipe recommends) and it rose shortly after.

    I can’t wait to experient with different fruits and variations, and I’m super excited to have this option for breakfasts in the office. Thanks a bunch for sharing!

  15. I thought this recipe would be crazy because I never heard of a microwaved cake. I made it this morning with quick oats, splenda, 1 egg, sliced almonds and banana and coconut. It was great and not heavy at all. I’ll just replace the coconut next time lol because I don’t have any berries.

  16. Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe! It was easy and quick to make, mine turned out awesome!

  17. Hey :)

    Tried this recipe as I longed for something sweet. Used 1/2 apple, 1 egg and 25 g of oat. It turned out to be ok, but not as good as I hoped.
    But i had some overripe bananas i was eather to use or to throw away. I took 1/2 banana, mixed it with a little bit of milk, and put it in the microwave for a few moments.
    This bananacream with the apple oat muffin was wonderful. Bit more calories, but you only need half a banana.

  18. Just made this a few minutes ago, and it was very good! I don’t understand what people are talking about how the old fashioned oats aren’t working, because I used them and it worked just fine! Thank you cassey for combining my whole breakfast into one delicious-good-for-me muffin! Xoxo

  19. Tried this today and it was great! So happy I found a new, easy breakfast :) Thanks!

    Hey Cassy i just tried your berrylicious microwaved muffin but insed of using berry i used cranberries which was lovely.

    Thank you for sharing all you recipes, I’m on the road to healthy eating & I’m also trying you blogilates 90 day challenge.

    Thank you all the way from
    Bristol United Kingdom xxxx

  21. I’m eating this right now and I must say it smells and tastes like heaven! Made it with raspberries, cinnamon and a bit of milk. Yummy! I didn’t even expect it will taste so good, I’ll be making it again for sure!

  22. I just tried this and its good! I think you need to add way more than 1/4 cup of oats.. it must just depend what size eggs you get.. I used almost a half cup of quick oats and I used jumbo eggs

  23. Is frozen blueberries okay to use?
    this looks so good i’m gonna try this recipe tomorrow for breakfast!

    p.s i love your blog

    • yes

    • I can never exercise with/ to aonyne else. You are my one and only fitness guru! So many fitness instructors (in varied degrees of mal-intent, I’m sure), make me feel as though I’m not in their elitist athletic club; as though every trainer and fitness enthusiast was born on a stair-stepper with a protein shake and 6% body fat. It’s discouraging, even if it is all in my head. But, now I know that even if I don’t look good while I exercise, that will change and I believe that because of you!

  24. I tried this for breakfast this morning, and it turned out wonderfully!

    I think that those of you who got something like scrambled eggs need to add more oats. I had a similar experience when making Nutella mugcake (such an eggy mess!)

    Make sure you mix everything well.

  25. This looks delicious! I can’t wait to make this tomorrow morning!

    Thanks Cassey!

  26. I made this and it keeps turning out very eggy. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, any suggestions please? I think it might be because I’m using extra large eggs?

  27. Didn’t turn out :( I used all the correct ingredients and mixed very well but it was really eggy, top half tasted like scrambled eggs with blueberry which was really gross, bottom half was alright :/

  28. I tried this too and unfortunately it turned out really bad for me :( I couldn’t even finish eating it because my stomach couldn’t handle it. awww I was really looking forward to this! :(

  29. I am new and want to try eating clean and working out daily!!! I see a lot of people say this is good and a lot of people are saying it doesn’t cook properly so is there a reason for this? Can we use egg whites instead?!

  30. I tried this a couple of times… and it didn’t work.. :( It looked like a gross omelet gone wrong also… I’m sad that it didn’t work because it would have been a great breakfast on the go.. I used all the right ingredients too… I used the quick oats and it still didn’t work… I really don’t know what I did to make it go wrong… *sniff**sniff*

  31. I also tried this. Yuck! A scramled egg with blueberries in it. I am so glad I tried it myself before making them for someone else! If someone else has better luck, let me know what I did wrong. Is the recipe missing something?

  32. I just tried this and it did not work! I was so looking forward to it but it was a soggy mess.I used quick oats, so I’m not sure what happened.

  33. LOVE THIS! Made mine with bananas cinnamon and nutmeg …..deeeelish!

    • This came out very eggy with an unpleasant texture. I mixed everything well, but as others said it was more like scrambled eggs. I ate it, but wouldn’t make it again.

  34. Gotta try this

  35. I was so excited to make this…but it didn’t work! :( I used regular, not quick cook oats…and used all the other stuff. Pretty much turned to scrabbled eggs! What did I do?!

    • Mine was as well, I don’t know why it just didn’t taste nice. I was really excited, it just smelt like egg and had a horrible texture. I will try again later but I was just annoyed that I had to throw it away :(

      • Same here – I used old fashioned oats. I think it does have to be the quick cook. I never overflowed as suggested, or even came close. I know when I’ve cooked instant oatmeal in the microwave I have to watch it carefully, so same principle. There must be something in the instant and/or quick cook oats that cause it to rise better. I’m heading out to do grocery shopping so maybe I’ll pick some up and try again.

  36. Made mine with honey and cinnamon! :) Came out great, also hollow, so I filled it with some good jelly. De-li-cious. <3

  37. I tried this twice and it just looks like a ball of scrambled eggs.

  38. Ok, this may be the most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen! Can’t wait to try it.

  39. This recipe did not work at all. It came out looking like a sad, decrepit egg mcmuffin. My brother said it smelled like ham. F-, will not be making this again.

    • Try again! It really works and is delish.

      • Mine was a dud too. It was like an omelet that went very, very wrong.

        • Mine turned out terrible too, tasted like scrambled eggs :/

          • Brooke says:

            Mine didn’t work either, it looked like an oatmeal baseball. I tried it though and the flavor wasn’t bad, so i went ahead and ate it… but it was definately a dud in the looks department! maybe it isn’t working because the microwave is too powerful… or maybe the coffee mug was too big…? might try to make these into “pancakes” though… a drizzle of maple syrup would have ben delicious. …?

    • Mine did not work out either. :(

  40. I just made this a few minutes ago but i didn’t have any fresh fruit in the house. Instead I used brown sugar, peanut butter and a small scoop of swiss miss hot chocolate powder. I’m eating it right now and it’s absolutely delicious :)

  41. Emer-Helena says:

    Made this last night, with the added milk and I used strawberries instead of blueberries, so yummy!

  42. I made it with Craisins (my personal favorite)! A good replacement for those cookie cravings :)

  43. That is Impossible !!

  44. Hi Cassey,
    I love this recipe! I made this muffin this morning and it came out great! Next time I will add some almond milk as it was a bit dry! Instead of brown sugar I used Xylitol sweetener. It looks and taste like sugar, but better!!!

    Thank you,
    Mica

  45. I’m not a fan of blueberries, any other alternatives?

    • How can you not be a fan of blueberries!

    • I had mine with raspberries! It as a bit more tart and sweeter than blueberries, too. :)

    • Kittery says:

      I recommend substituting apple slices for the blueberries, use brown sugar, and add in cinnamon. Definitely a keeper :)

    • I tried making one using strawberries this morning and it turned out very well!

      • hey i just wanted to know are there any plteias exercises for loosing breast fat coz seriously i m tired of my big boobs n really want to wear some nice sexy clothes but cannot due to this. plz do tell me if there are any

  46. If i don’t have instant oats, but normal oats, what can i add for it to fluff?

  47. I love eating muffins, yet shaving my muffin top off at the same time :)) I’m excited to try this tomorrow morning! Thanks Cassey!!!

  48. this muffin is AMAZING! I’m eating it right now and am savouring every bite! I calculated the calories and its only like 240 calories and that’s including the banana I had it with!

  49. I made this and it was super delicious, and it kept my hunger away! I added 1 TBS of cacao nibs, 1 tsp of oatbran and I sweetened it with honey and topped with homemade, un-sweetened applesauce! Thanks a ton for sharing this recipe. It’s perfect!

  50. Thanks for the recipe Cassey! I made it with blueberries and Quaker’s purple rice instant oatmeal (extra B vitamins!) and a bit of raw sugar and it was DELICIOUS!!! Blog post with pictures for proof.

    I was surprised it popped out of the mug so easily! Makes cleaning up a breeze~

    Have a great day!
