Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tsp butter
- 3 Tbsp whole milk
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup bread pieces
Optional Toppings
- berries
- sliced bananas
- nuts
- powdered sugar
- peanut butter
- chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt the Butter: Place the butter in a large microwave-safe mug and microwave for 15-20 seconds until melted.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the whole milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and the egg to the mug with the melted butter. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Combine with Bread: Add the bread pieces to the mug and gently stir to coat all the bread with the egg mixture. Be careful not to stir too roughly to prevent the bread from breaking apart. Let the mixture sit for about 1 minute to soak.
- Microwave the French Toast: Microwave the mug for 60-90 seconds until the mixture is set and firm. Note that cooking times vary by microwave wattage and mug size; adjust accordingly for best results.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately or top with your favorite toppings such as berries, sliced bananas, nuts, powdered sugar, peanut butter, or chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for better texture, as fresher bread may become too soggy.
- Adjust microwave cooking time based on your microwave’s wattage.
- Feel free to swap whole milk for any milk alternative if preferred.
- Add toppings after cooking to prevent sogginess.
