This mug Coffee cake recipe has been a game changer! It’s an easy mug cake recipe you can enjoy by yourself in the morning before the kids get up, or teach them how to make it for an after school treat. If you love mug recipes we have a lot, this is just the beginning of the YUM.

Coffee Cake in a Mug No Egg

This is great for those that cannot have or doesn’t want to consume animal products. You still will get a moist and dense cake you would expect, but without eggs! That’s right, if you need an egg free treat, this is it!

I bet you have all of these ingredients in your cupboard already, plus a bit of milk. Then you too cake make this single serving dessert for yourself in a coffee mug with a tasty crumb topping Make as is or include the brown sugar crumble on top that makes it over the top delicious. Serve with pancake in a mug for breakfast and dessert together!

We started with this brownie in a mug with a dollop of peanut butter in the middle. OH MY was that good! We all love this recipe a lot. That one is egg-free as well but you would never know it because it is just as tender and moist as if one was in there. Melted butter instead does the trick, let us show you how it is done. 😉

Coffee Cake for One

Seriously, with a mug and microwave you can make a multitude of single individual serving treats. You can use gluten free flour if need be, use our coffee cake with cake mix recipe but cooked this way so you could cut down the bake time serving it this way instead of in a large pan full.

If you want to get specific, it tastes like delicious coffee cake in a mug really. 😉 For a quick treat late at night, in the morning or a snack any time of day this is one of my favorite things ever.

Ingredient Notes

You are going to want to start by adding some All purpose flour and sugar you probably have already at home into your mug.

Stir in the dry Baking powder and baking soda to combine which will allow this to rise properly so it is light and fluffy.

As for the necessary Butter, I prefer salted over unsalted butter. Add that in with your milk which is best if whole or 2% so it is as moist as possible.

Brown sugar, Vanilla extract and some Cinnamon is what is going to essentially make up your crumb topping. And you’ll need a large microwave safe mug – do NOT use a small one or it will overflow

I love the streusel topping but you could leave it out and still taste good, I mean it’s amazing instead of good without it but ya’ know. Cooking time would remain the same either way.

There is a crumble topping you add to your dessert in a mug which gives it a bit of texture and sweetness. Of course you can leave that part out and just top it with some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream BUT that is my favorite part.

How Long to Cook Coffee Cake in Mug

Timing will vary slightly depending on your microwave so start with 1 1/2 minutes and add 30 seconds the first time to see if it looks done. That works for us but if you have a small unit that is less powerful you’d want to opt for 2 full minutes so the batter in the middle is cooked thru. For mine 2 made it a bit drier than I wanted.
