Step 1
Stir the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the milk, brown sugar, olive oil, egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest until everything is nicely combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir just until the batter comes together—you can leave it a little lumpy.
Step 2
Grease a big microwave-safe mug with some butter, then pour the batter into it. Pop the mug in the microwave and cook for about 3 minutes. Once it’s done, let it sit for 5 minutes to finish setting before digging in.
Serving Combinations
Enjoy it warm on its own or add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A sprinkle of powdered sugar or some fresh berries can make it feel extra special.
Proper Storage Tips
This treat is best eaten fresh, but if you have leftovers, cover the mug and store it in the fridge for up to one day. Reheat briefly in the microwave before serving.
