Time 3m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour (sub your favorite gluten-free flour blend for a GF version)
2 tablespoons peanut butter (I use all-natural creamy peanut butter)
2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (can substitute dairy milk for a non-vegan version)
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (could substitute granulated sugar, brown sugar, or honey [but honey is not vegan])
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
Chocolate chips or chocolate chunks for topping

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients except the chocolate chips (if using) to an 8-ounce or larger microwave-safe mug. Use a fork to stir together until combined. It might seem lumpy at first but keep stirring and it'll resemble cake batter in no time!
  • Microwave on high until the cake has risen and springs back slightly when you poke it, 45-60 seconds. If it's not done after 60 seconds, try cooking in 15-second intervals until done. (To bake in the oven, heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and place batter in an oven-safe ramekin or oven-safe mug. Bake until domed and the top springs back when you poke it, 15-20 minutes. )
  • Top with chocolate chips or chunks if desired and enjoy right away.

Tips:

  • Use the right mug: Choose a mug that is at least 10 ounces in volume and is microwave-safe.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Microwave the cake in short bursts: Start with 30 seconds and then microwave in additional 10-second bursts until the cake is cooked through. Overcooking can make the cake dry.
  • Let the cake cool slightly before eating: The cake will continue to cook as it cools, so let it cool for a minute or two before taking a bite.
  • Get creative with your toppings: Mug cakes are a great way to experiment with different flavors and toppings. Try adding chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit to the batter, or top the cake with whipped cream, ice cream, or frosting.

Conclusion:

Mug cakes are a quick and easy way to satisfy your sweet tooth. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious cake in minutes. So next time you're craving something sweet, give one of these mug cake recipes a try!
