Single-Serve Microwave Muffin

Submitted by qotw13

"Okay, so this may not be *exactly* like a muffin, but it's pretty close, and was still pretty tasty! The taste and texture turned out to be a little more like that of a very thick pancake, but that's close enough, right? ;) Anyway, I was wanting just one muffin this morning, and decided to tinker around a little and make just one in the microwave. I'll probably play around with this a little more, but here are the basics. Really, you could probably add fruit or chocolate chips or whatever to this, and have yourself a tasty little treat in roughly five minutes. I'd love to hear other people's ideas on additions/changes to this!"
