Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter

Add-ins

  • 2 tablespoons milk chocolate chips
  • Extra chocolate chips for topping (optional)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all the dry and wet ingredients, including the peanut butter and chocolate chips, into a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug for easy preparation.
  2. Mix Batter: Using a fork or small whisk, thoroughly mix all ingredients until the batter is smooth and uniform, ensuring the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
  3. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips on top for extra chocolatey goodness and visual appeal.
  4. Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes, or until the cake center is fully cooked and springs back slightly when touched.
  5. Cooling: Remove the mug carefully and allow the cake to cool for a few minutes to set properly before enjoying your warm, delicious mug cake.

Notes

  • Use a microwave-safe mug with at least 12 ounces capacity to avoid overflow during cooking.
  • You can substitute creamy peanut butter with natural peanut butter, but the texture may be slightly different.
  • For a dairy-free version, choose plant-based milk and dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage; start checking at 90 seconds if unsure.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
