Ingredients

1x
  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil or melted butter
  • 1 cup pitted cherries, halved
  • 1 pod vanilla bean

Instructions

Use a microwave-safe 12-ounce mug. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the mug.

Stir in milk, oil, and scraped vanilla bean seeds until no dry flour remains.

Fold in the cherries and wipe batter from the upper sides of the mug.

Microwave on high 60 seconds; continue in 10-second bursts only until the top looks set, usually 60–90 seconds total.

Rest 1–2 minutes before eating; the mug will be hot.
