Pancake in a Mug Recipe (Easy Morning Breakfast Idea)
[wprm-recipe-jump]
Need a quick breakfast idea? This pancake in a mug is a really quick breakfast that I make for my boys most mornings before school.
This pancake in a mug is our go-to quick breakfast!
Our elementary school starts at 7:40am, we live about 15 minutes away form the school, and my boys love to be early to school. So we’re heading out the door before 7:10 every morning, and quick easy breakfast ideas are a must. Our favorite right now is a pancake in a mug.
This is an easy breakfast that is just four ingredients and takes about four minutes total for me to make.
Our favorite pancake mix to use in this recipe
I’m a huge fan of Kodiak Cakes buttermilk mix. It has protein, whole grains, and fiber, and it tastes great. I get a huge box of it from Costco and it lasts for ages.
But we also get seasonal pancake mixes at Trader Joe’s and have used those — anything works! If you have a bunch of Krusteaz or Bisquick mix sitting around, use those.
Our favorite toppings for our pancakes in a mug
When the pancake comes out of the microwave and is nice and hot, I cut an X in the top and slide a little pat of butter inside to melt. Then I top with maple syrup. This is my boys’ topping of choice in the early morning.
But we also love putting chocolate chips or butterscotch chips in the batter for a sweet treat!
Some other topping ideas for your pancake in a mug
- fresh fruit
- berry syrup (I’ve heard great things about Kodiak Cake’s syrups!)
- peanut butter
- honey
- yogurt and jam (this is my favorite combo to put on regular pancakes and waffles!)
- powdered sugar
- cinnamon and brown sugar
So many possibilities — get creative!

Incredibly chic idea to be honest, but it still takes a lot of time sometimes. Once I was engaged in preparing for college in the morning, and if I had not found a solution here, I would probably have continued, like in school, preparing assignments. And now I have a lot of free time, it often happens that I cook this breakfast for myself in the morning.

People are not able to gather ideas, come up with a problem or theme to work on. Many subjects, topics, short time, and more become a great barrier to the successful completion of even the easiest task.
