What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 0.5 cup canned peaches in syrup drained
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
Spoon the drained canned peaches into the bottom of a large microwave-safe mug. Sprinkle cinnamon and one teaspoon of sugar over the peaches and stir gently to combine.
Step 2: Make the Batter
In a small bowl, mix flour, remaining sugar, melted butter, and milk together until a thick smooth batter forms with no dry lumps remaining.
Step 3: Assemble and Cook
Spoon the batter directly on top of the peaches in the mug without stirring. Microwave on high for 2 to 2.5 minutes until the topping is set and slightly golden on the edges.
Step 4: Rest and Serve
Allow the mug to rest for one full minute before eating as it will be extremely hot. Serve directly from the mug optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- canned peaches → fresh diced peaches or any canned fruit like cherries or blueberries
- all-purpose flour → gluten-free 1:1 flour blend for a gluten-free version
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Overfilling the mug which causes the batter to overflow in the microwave during cooking
- Not allowing the mug to rest after cooking and burning your mouth on the extremely hot filling
