Microwave Breakfast Cookie in a Mug

Enjoy a power-packed, protein-filled breakfast in just minutes with my Microwave Breakfast Cookie!

 

Ingredients

 

½ medium banana

1 ½ tablespoons peanut butter

½ tablespoon honey (or agave)

1 tablespoon milk

4 tablespoons oats (rolled or quick oats)

1 tablespoon raisins (seeds or nuts)

Instructions

In a large microwavable mug mash the banana well with a fork.

Stir in the peanut butter, milk and honey and mix well together.

Add in the oats and raisins and stir until combined.

Microwave for 45 seconds - 1 minute or until firm to the touch on top. (Cook time is based on my 1200 watt microwave so your timing may vary)

Enjoy warm!

Recipe Notes

You can mix this mug cake up the night before and cook it off in the microwave

Cooking time will vary greatly depending on your microwave and the width and depth of the mug. The mugs I use are small, roughly 6oz (¾ /1 cup)

Always keep a close eye on your mug while in the microwave so it doesn't over flow or over cook.

You can add in seed or nuts also

August 9, 2021

It is hard to phantom just how long it has been since I last wrote to this blog.

Liam is in Daycare/Preschool and loving it.

The senior Center closed last year, arch because of COBID. Opened this past mid April for 4 hours a day but not card playing, just talking and seeing each other across a table. Opened up full time July 6th for meals and card playing, Pending any changed that may come either through the State government and the Health Department.

We watched the July 4th parade, which was on the 3rd because Independence day was in a Sunday.

I broke the Greater Tubular area of my left arm on April 14, Had my Gaul Bladder removed on May 24. 

That's the bare bones of our year. so far.

 I'm keeping the Hummingbird feeder filled with Sugar Water for the little buggers. It also attracts Wasps, bees and other stinging critters, but so far (Knock on wood) no one had been stung.  I was not able to put in a garden this year. Just too many things to be able to physically get that done, this year.. but I am saving seeds for next years gardening.

I am painting a surprise for my friend, Barbra... it's a butterfly puddler, for when she moves into her "house" that her son is refurbishing for her.
