    In point of fact, any cupcake recipe can work in an ovenproof mug.

    So, too, do many coffee-cake recipes. I always thought that was kewl: to serve the coffe cake in a coffee mug.

    There is no reason most quick-bread recipes shouldn't work. We've adapted them from full sized loaf pans to mini-loafs, which, volume wise, are about the same. You may have to do some experimenting to find the exact right amounts. But it can broaden your selection exponentially.
