Peanut Butter Cookie in a Mug
A quick and comforting peanut butter cookie made in just minutes, perfect for cozy moments.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Peanut Butter Creamy or crunchy depending on your preference.
- 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar To balance the nuttiness.
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar For a deeper sweet flavor.
- 2 tbsp Flour All-purpose flour gives it structure.
- a pinch Baking Powder To help it rise slightly.
- 1 tbsp Milk Dairy or plant-based milk works beautifully.
- a dash Vanilla Extract To enhance the sweetness.
Instructions
Preparation
- In your favorite mug, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until creamy.
- Add in the flour, baking powder, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth—it’s okay if there are a few lumps, but ensure the dry ingredients are incorporated.
- Microwave your mug cookie for about 40-60 seconds, depending on your microwave's wattage. You want it to be set but still soft in the center.
- Let it cool for a minute, then dig in.
Notes
For an added treat, mix in chocolate chips or chopped nuts just before microwaving. Adjust the microwave time to avoid overcooking; every microwave behaves a little differently. To make it healthier, try using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose for added fiber.
