Have you jumped on the microwave individual serving chain?
If not, be sure to check out my latest piece for Shape here to get some more inspiring recipes too!
I loved your shape article- I’m not a fan of mug cakes so I was excited to see some other easy microwaveable options!
Yaya- thanks Jess! I hope you enjoy 🙂
Do you have the carb count for this recipe?
I have a 6 muffin microwave mold. Have you any suggestions for timing when doing multiples of your recipe? I imagine that 60 secs x 6 would overcook them. Thanks
Hmm great questions! I haven’t tried that so it’s hard to say. Maybe start with 3 muffins and experiment with the time from 60-90 seconds. I wish I had a muffin tin like that I could place in the micro!
This is perfect in a time crunch when I dont have an hour to cook my normal cornbread recipe!!!
What a great recipe! And this is perfect because I hate recipes that make so many they end up going bad on my counter in a day or two – with this I can just make what I need!
I skipped cornbread the other night at dinner because we didn’t wanna wait to eat. Clearly now this one will save the day next time!
I can’t believe this cute little muffin is ready in less than 2 minutes! Love that it is gluten-free, I can’t wait to make this on a chilly winter day with some chili 🙂
Love this microwave recipe!!
Running out to the store to buy cornmeal mix. Such a great idea!!
When I want a quick yet tasty cornbread with my dinner I always make this!
How fun is this?! Pinning now!
Anthony is going to be the happiest person on the planet with this one!!! Saved!
Thank you, I love! …why applesauce? Thanks
So glad you enjoyed this!
You just ignored the question from Lisa. I was wondering the same thing.
I’m so sorry! I switched web hosts over the last weeks and all my message replies got jumbled! But, to answer your question the applesauce replaces a traditional added sugar like honey or cane sugar used in cornbread recipes.
Making this in my Barracks cooking class tomorrow – Very excited to try it out!
Oh how exciting! I hope you enjoyed it, let me know what they thought!
