Ingredients

• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Milk (preferably whole or 2%)
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0 Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl or large microwave-safe mug, lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the cornbread dense.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into the prepared microwave-safe bowl or mug, filling no more than 2/3 full to allow space for the cornbread to rise during cooking.

Step 6

Microwave on high for 3 to 5 minutes, checking at the 3-minute mark. The cornbread is done when the top looks firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Carefully remove the bowl or mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 8

Optional: Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam for added flavor.
