Notes
1. Vegan Option: To make this peanut butter mug cake vegan, you can substitute the egg with a flax egg. Simply mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2 tablespoons of water, let it sit for a few minutes, and then add it to the mug instead of the regular egg.
2. Peanut Butter Type: You can choose either smooth or crunchy peanut butter, depending on your texture preference. If you like a bit of crunch, go for the crunchy variety!
3. Add-ins: If you want to take this recipe to the next level, feel free to add mini chocolate chips, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or chopped nuts before microwaving for added flavor and texture.
