Peanut Butter Mug Cake
This quick and easy 5-Minute Peanut Butter Mug Cake is a delightful treat that combines the rich flavor of peanut butter with a fluffy cake, perfect for a cozy afternoon indulgence.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour This forms the cake's base, providing structure.
- 2 tablespoons sugar For that touch of sweetness.
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder A crucial ingredient that helps the cake rise.
- a pinch salt To enhance the flavor.
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons milk To create a moist batter. Use almond or oat milk for non-dairy.
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter Use creamy or crunchy based on preference.
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract For an aromatic boost.
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by taking a microwave-safe mug and mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Next, add in the milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth; the batter should be thick but pourable. If it's too thick, add a splash more milk.
Cooking
- Pop your mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 40-60 seconds. Cooking times may vary by microwave, so keep an eye on it.
- Once done, carefully take out the mug (it will be hot!). Let it cool for a minute.
Serving
- Enjoy it straight from the mug, or top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or fresh berries.
- For added flavor, mix in chocolate chips or nuts into the batter before microwaving.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute the milk with plant-based options and use a vegan sugar. Store leftover mug cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
