Mug Peach Cobbler

This mug peach cobbler is so fluffy and delicious and comes together completely in the microwave. It’s the perfect summer dessert for when you suddenly get a craving after dinner. It’s made with fresh peaches that get cooked down to a thick, bubbly mixture in the microwave.

Tips:

The mug you choose should be large because the juices in the peaches will start to bubble and if your mug is too small, the juices will bubble over. Think about a mug that’s close to a small bowl, in fact, you could actually use a small-medium bowl.

Since we’re microwaving the peaches and not baking them, it’s important that the peaches are cut into very small pieces so that they can cook faster. This is another reason why the peaches are microwaved first without the topping so that they can get a head start on cooking.

Also, microwaves can vary greatly with their power so the times in this recipe are more like a starting place. You may have to add more time depending on your own microwave.
