Trying Pinterest Mug Recipes

The other day for breakfast I decided to skip my daily cereal and try out a couple Pinterest breakfast in a mug recipes. I took pictures along the way to document the process!

For the first one, I used this recipe called "Coffee Cup Scramble", but I used half the ingredients to make less.

So, I just used one egg and one tablespoon of milk and whisked them together. It was in the microwave for a total of 90 seconds, and stirred after 30 seconds. I mixed cheese and salt into the mug when it was done.

And these are the scrambled eggs I ended up with! They were pretty good, y'know just scrambled eggs. For a three minute project, it's not bad! (Plus I don't have to actually like use a stove or anything, which I am naturally inclined not to do).

The second recipe I used had a bit more ingredients, so I cut it in half again. I had to also use vegetable oil instead of coconut oil, because I didn't think we had that in the kitchen. So this is the recipe I used. I also only had the ingredients pulled up at the time (I had screenshotted them), so I didn't really follow the steps. I had to add a lot more milk than the recipe to get the mixture from being dry. I also just mixed the brown sugar and cinnamon into the batter... which might have something to do with the appearance indescripancy since it's only supposed to go on top. Eh.

I ended up with this consistency of batter. Then I put it in the microwave for 85 seconds.

This is what it looked like?

Out of the mug, it was wet in some places and quite rubbery. It tasted like vanilla with a hint of cinnamon. Maybe I used too much vanilla? I don't think I did. So, this one did not work out. At all.

Have you ever tried a mug recipe from Pinterest? Did it work?
