I hope you guys love super easy, quick desserts as much I do because today’s recipe is just that. I had these cupcakes prepared and baked in less than 15 minutes y’all.
When you’re having a hankering for a cupcake or two, sometimes the thought of preparing a couple dozen just seems so daunting aka exhausting haha.
Don’t get me wrong, I love me some cupcakes and love the fun of making and decorating them, but cupcakes can be a long and tiring process, hence the awesomeness of these mug cupcakes.
Having never ‘baked’ a cupcake in the microwave before, my biggest concern was that these would turn out dry, which they totally didn’t. They turned out perfectly soft, moist (my apologies for that word) and full of delicious vanilla flavor.
I decided that to make these perfection, a little whipped chocolate frosting on top would be awesome, and I was right 🙂 These are fun and delicious y’all, perfect for a quick and easy dessert for two, or one if you’re hungry. Happy Monday!
