2 minute blueberry pancake {in a mug}

I had a craving for blueberry pancakes today and thought it would be fun to create another microwave mug recipe. Everyone loves my cinnamon roll in a mug, caramel roll in a mug, pizza in a mug, unicorn mug cakes, mug muffin, molten chocolate mug cake, and paleo mug bread. So, why not a pancake?…
