Well, shoot. When a microwave cooks something quickly on the outside, but not the inside, it can mean the power is too high. I would try adjusting the power down. I hope that helps!

Hi, Kathi, thanks for trying this! Every microwave is a bit different, I'm so glad you found the magic formula to cook yours perfectly :). Cara

Just tried this recipe! Omg. Yummy. I heated at 50% for 90 seconds, a tad wet/sticky result. Then, I added 20 seconds at 100% . Perfect!!!! Thanks for this idea.

Hi, Sarah, it isn't usually doughy or tacky on top -- it should resemble a baked muffin. It may have just needed a touch longer to cook, as it sounds like your microwave cooks at a different rate than mine. Or, as you mentioned, the pancake batter could be to blame for a different texture.

Not sure why you didn't just use the "Jump to Recipe" button instead of leaving a snarky comment on someone's blog. Maybe look at your own stupidity instead of blaming someone else? 🙂

I know -- crazy you can make a pancake in so little time! I'm with you, chocolate chip pancakes will always have my heart :). Thanks! Cara

Right? Curling up with a pancake in a mug is never a bad idea :). Thanks so much!

Thanks, Jamie! Yes, great for busy mornings -- and lazy ones, too :).
