Lemon Blueberry Mug Cake
Make yourself a muffin anytime you want with this muffin in a mug.
If you are looking for something like a muffin for breakfast, this blueberry lemon muffin is one of my favorites. Because it is made in the microwave it has a softer and somewhat sponger texture than a traditional blueberry muffin, but the oats give it just the right amount of chewiness to offset the jammy cooked blueberries.
