5-Minute Bread Pudding

I do like bread, and I do like pudding very much, now combining them would be another thing but I definitely will give this one a try. From instructibles (koulkanator)

These ingredients are more suggestions, you can easily make substitutions to almost everything but the bread and eggs.

You'll need:
- a microwaveable coffee cup or bowl
- bread (stale ok!)
- 1 egg
- 1-3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons of yogurt or milk
- 1-2 tablespoons of butter / margarine

Optional ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla
- dash of cinnamon

 

Now tear up your inedible bread. I happened to have some "english muffin bread" from Trader Joe's, I think it really enhances the taste and texture since it's already kind of dense and spongy *Mmmmmmmm*

Put the pieces into the cup and set aside.

 

Whisk together all remaining ingredients. If your butter is not soft enough yet, it's ok to melt it.

Pour the mixture on top of the bread. If needed, use a fork to help it along down into the crevices so it makes its way throughout the bread. 

 

Pop in the microwave for about 2 minutes. When it's done, let it cool for as long as you can stand it. Letting it set for a few minutes allows the flavor and texture to set in.

Once cooled to your liking, dig in and enjoy!

 

Comments are good so I can't wait to give this a try.

8-Minutes Microwave Apple Pie

An apple a day keeps me happy - I dunno about the doctor but I love apples. Here's a recipe for apple pie in microwave. Need to keep this. Btw, it's also from instructibles (the magical duct tape kid)

Here are the ingredients you need:

3 good sized apples

2/3 cup of packed brown sugar

2/3 cup of oats (whole or regular)

1/2 cup of bisquick mix

3 tablespoons of soft butter

3/4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon

3/4 teaspoons of nutmeg....

Tools:
1 fruit peeler
1 8 in. pyrex (or other microwave safe) dish
1 wooden spoon
1 apple slicer
1 bowl

This is definitely the hardest part of the cooking process...
Peeling the skins off the apples...

First, start by washing all of the apples in cold water.

Then, grab your fruit peeler, and start peeling from one side until you've gone all the way around the apple.

Now that you have finished peeling the apples, get the apple slicer and place it in the middle of the apple.

Next, with a little aggressive force push down with two hands to slice the entire apple.

Finally, place your sliced apples in the pyrex dish.

After you have finished the last step, it's time to mix all of your remaining ingredients into your bowl.

Remember to mix these ingredients:

2/3 cup of packed brown sugar

2/3 cup of oats (whole or regular)

1/2 cup of bisquick mix

3 tablespoons of soft butter

3/4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon

3/4 teaspoons of nutmeg

To soften my butter, I put it in the microwave for about 12 seconds.

(tip) Use your wooden spoon to mix ingredients quicker.

Next, you will need to pour the contents of your mixing bowl onto the apples, see picture 1.

Then, place the pirex dish into the microwave for about 8-9 minutes.

After, the pie is done, take it out of the microwave and let it cool off for about two minutes, see picture 2.

Then, it's ready to serve...

I normally serve in a small bowl with ice cream. (see picture 3)

Thanks for viewing my Instructable!

This is a step for people you can't get their hands on bisquick.

To make your own bisquick, mix the following ingredients until crumbly:
2 3/4 cups sifted flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 tablespoons baking powder

1/2 cup vegetable shortening

This makes 3 cups...

I do hope this will be great cos I'm craving for it right now :)

5 Minute Ch0colate Cake

There are a lot of cake-in-a-mug recipes out there, here's another one I've found and since the person who posted it said they have already taken the time to "experiment with eight variations on a recipe to come up with the best, tastiest, and most reliable 5-minute chocolate cake on the web." So, I surely will give it a try next time.

Ingredients:

microwave!

coffee mug

4 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

2 tablespoons whisked egg - 1 egg is too much, 1 egg white is too eggy, 1 yolk is too dense, but 2 tblsp is just right!

3 tablespoons milk

3 tablespoons oil

3 tablespoons chocolate chips

splash vanilla or other flavoring - try peppermint or cinnamon

For a fudgier version, omit egg!

Steps:
Add all of the dry ingredients to the mug and mix.
Add the egg and combine well. It gets pretty pasty at the point.
Stir in milk and oil.
Add chocolate chips* and splash of vanilla. Stir well.
*if you don't have chocolate chips, try a broken up candy bar - I can't stress how much this amps the awesomeness of your cake

Microwave for 3-4 min --> well, I will just try with 1 minute or so, microwave for 3-4 min for a mug size cake is a bit long, don't you think?

Note: some comments say the cake burn (because of the vanilla extract - they contain alcohol) and suggested to reduce that. Also, yeah, the chocolate cake will also burn when cooked for 3-4 min..so try 1-2 min, checking every 15 secs or so.

Enjoy.

Microwave Mug Brownies

Today I have a very strong craving for food, any food, from pizza to chocolate cake. Unfortunately, have neither ready at home, or anywhere near. Now, I know there are many microwave chocolate cake recipes out there but they never satisfy me.
I wanted one that's super easy (I'm an amateur), without egg (I'm not quite sure on cooking eggs in microwave), very chocolatey and not spongey. I had a tough time looking for that until I found this recipe and now I just had to keep it :)

Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons Flour
2 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa powder (Note: don't use cocoa mix or quik, it shouldn't have any sugar)
2 Tablepsoons Vegetable Oil (Don't use one with a strong flavor, eg olive, sesame, etc)
2 Tablespoons Water
Dash of salt
Mug
Microwave

Mix all the dry ingredients together. Once well mixed, add the oil and water and mix thoroughly until there's no more clumps of the dry ingredients. The mixture will come together and not runny. Microwave for about 1 minute (depending on your microwave). The cooked brownie will be somewhat wet and gooey but it's set (and without egg :p). hmm.. super yummy. Do give it a try and comment.

 

Note: you can adjust the amount of sugar and chocolate as you wish, you can also add chocolate chips or stir in peanut butter (or any jam) as you wish. Have fun cooking :)
