There are some days I have all the patience in the world and then there are others where I can’t even wait 20 minutes for a batch of muffins to bake! Sometimes I try to think ahead and wrap up a few extra goodies to store in the freezer for those moments where I need something sweet, like, NOW! But the funny thing about being a mom is that I rarely remember those “think ahead” treats and end up finding all of these random cookies, muffins, etc. tucked away in the back of the freezer six months too late. 

Luckily, some genius invented mug cakes and now we can have a homemade treat in a matter of minutes! 

Mug cakes are single serving treats that get mixed together in a mug and “baked” in the microwave. They’re perfect when you don’t want need a dozen muffins lying around because you have no self-control and will eat every last one all by yourself and then feel guilty about eating said muffins, spending the rest of the night binging out on sappy romcoms on Netflix, wallowing in guilt. 🙈
