Equipment

  • Microwave-safe mug
  • Spoon or small whisk
  • Measuring spoons and cup

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter smooth or crunchy, depending on preference
  • 1 tablespoon milk use any variety, such as dairy or plant-based
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey for sweetness
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder helps the cake rise
  • 1 large egg yolk for richness and moisture
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons oil for added moisture
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips optional, for extra indulgence

Instructions
 

Combine Wet Ingredients:

  • In a microwave-safe mug, mix the peanut butter, milk, maple syrup (or honey), egg yolk, and oil until well combined. You can use a spoon or small whisk to ensure everything is smoothly incorporated.

Add Dry Ingredients:

  • Stir in the flour, baking powder, and chocolate chips (if using). Make sure the batter is smooth and evenly mixed. The consistency should be similar to a thick pancake batter.

Microwave:

  • Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on the microwave’s power, so start checking at the 1-minute mark. The cake should have risen and be firm to the touch.

Cool & Serve:

  • Let the mug cake cool for a minute before enjoying. Optionally, top with extra chocolate chips, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a scoop of ice cream for an added treat!

Notes

Be mindful when removing the mug from the microwave, as it might be hot. Adjust the sweetness level according to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
