Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or granulated sugar)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare the Mug Cake
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, add the peanut butter, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt to the mug. Mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated, and the batter is smooth.
- Microwave: Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the strength of your microwave. Keep an eye on the cake while it cooks—if it overflows, stop the microwave and let it settle before continuing.
- Check for Doneness: The mug cake should rise and firm up, but still have a soft, gooey center. If the top is set, it’s done!
Serve and Enjoy
- Let It Cool: Allow the mug cake to cool for about 1 minute before digging in—it will be very hot!
- Toppings (Optional): For an extra treat, top your mug cake with whipped cream, a drizzle of melted chocolate, a few chocolate chips, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
