Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake Quick and Easy Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug (roughly 12 oz), combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure no lumps remain.
- Add the milk, peanut butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir vigorously with a fork until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- If using, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey flavor.
- Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Check for doneness; the cake should rise and be set in the middle. If needed, add additional time in 10-second intervals.
- Once done, let it cool for a couple of minutes before indulging to avoid burning your mouth.
- For an extra flourish, top with a dollop of peanut butter and a sprinkle of chocolate chips before serving.
