It doesn't have to be blueberry season to enjoy this recipe. This mug muffin can be made with frozen or fresh blueberries! There's an extra delicious blueberry flavor added from Lifeway's Blueberry Maple Oat. It's made with organic oats and is plant based, gluten-free and dairy free! Your gut will love its vegan probiotic cultures, too!
I love making single serve treats in mugs! I have too many mugs in my cupboard but they're all special to me, so I'm always excited to use more of them! In the mornings, I can have my coffee in one hand and my muffin in the other. If you're also a fan of mug cakes, check out my Fudgy Mug Brownie!
