Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup fat-free milk
- 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter
Chocolate
- 3 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, fat-free milk, and creamy peanut butter. Use a small whisk to vigorously mix all ingredients until the batter is smooth and free of flour lumps.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Stir 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips into the batter. Then, place another tablespoon concentrated in the center of the batter so that the middle of the cake will have a gooey chocolate center. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips on top of the batter for a crunchy, chocolaty topping.
- Microwave Cooking: Cook the mug cake in the microwave at full power for about 1 minute. If the cake is still gooey after this time, microwave for an additional 15 seconds. Let the mug cake cool for a few minutes before enjoying. For the best taste, eat it warm.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe mug to avoid any accidents during cooking.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the microwave’s wattage; adjust as needed.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute fat-free milk with whole milk or a milk alternative.
- Peanut butter can be creamy or crunchy depending on your preference.
- Serve immediately as mug cakes tend to dry out if stored.
