Funfetti Mug Cupcakes

Here's a super quick 'n easy recipe that Annalyn and I whipped up the other day. The small-scale recipe was easy for her to help with and it only makes two mugs, so no leftovers lying around. Just enough for an afternoon picnic with my girls. Here's how Mama (and my little helpers) makes it:

Funfetti Mug Cupcakes

Ingredients:

- 2 T. Butter, melted

- 1 large egg

- 2 T. Milk

- 1 t. Vanilla extract

- 1/4 c. Sugar

- 6 T. Flour

- 1/4 t. Baking powder

- pinch salt

- 2 T. Sprinkles

Directions:

1. Melt butter, then add egg and beat with a fork. Stir in milk, vanilla, and sugar.

1a. Wrestle measuring spoons away from baby...

1b. Give them back because she's just so darn cute!

2. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat the batter until smooth, gently stir in sprinkles, then split between two mugs.

3. Microwave separately for 1.5 to 2.5 minutes (mine only took 1.5). Top with icing, whipped cream, ice cream, etc. as desired. Or attack it with a fork as soon as it cools (be careful, mug will be hot!).
