1 tablespoon butter
1 egg
1 tablespoon brown sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons wheat germ
½ teaspoon ground ginger

Place butter in a microwave-safe mug. Heat in the microwave until melted, 10 to 20 seconds. Whisk in egg, brown sugar, white sugar, molasses, and vanilla extract.
Mix whole wheat flour, wheat germ, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl. Add to the mug; stir well until combined.
