How to make doughnuts in the microwave

First, melt some butter

In a mug, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave

 

Add a few basic ingredients and mix

4 tablespoons of flour
An egg yolk
2 tablespoons of sugar
A tablespoon of milk
Half a teaspoon of baking powder
A sprinkling of cinnamon

 

 

Add in a tablespoon of of jam in the middle

You can use any jam, and something like apple sauce would probably work too.

 

Microwave for 45-60 seconds

Cook until the top is firm – the exact time varies depending on your microwave power. 45 seconds is about right for a 1200W microwave. Check every 10 seconds or so if unsure.

 

Finish with cinnamon and more jam
