Gather Your Ingredients: Start by assembling all your ingredients in one convenient spot.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In your favorite microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Blend everything together using a fork or small whisk until there are no lumps and it’s smooth.
Microwave: Place your mug in the microwave and cook for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Keep an eye on it as microwave times can vary!
Check for Doneness: Your pancake is ready when it’s risen and firm to the touch. If needed, add additional 10-second bursts until fully cooked.
Top and Enjoy: Let it cool slightly before adding your favorite toppings. Serve immediately and take that first comforting bite!
