Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 large egg yolk (or 1 extra tablespoon milk)
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Add-ins

  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the oil, peanut butter, sugar, and egg yolk (or milk substitute) to a large microwave-safe mug. Whisk together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Whisk in the flour and baking powder into the wet mixture, ensuring there are no lumps and the batter is evenly combined.
  3. Stir in Milk and Chocolate Chips: Add the milk and fold in the chocolate chips if using. Mix gently until distributed evenly throughout the batter.
  4. Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mug cake on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds, or until the top is set and no longer wet or jiggly.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the cake stand for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly before enjoying. Optionally, top with a scoop of ice cream or an extra drizzle of peanut butter for added indulgence.

Notes

  • Use a large mug to allow room for the cake to rise while microwaving.
  • You can substitute the egg yolk with an extra tablespoon of milk for a dairy option or egg-free variant.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to taste if you prefer a less sweet cake.
  • Microwave power varies, so cooking time may need slight adjustment.
  • For vegan adaptation, use a plant-based milk and skip the egg yolk or use a flax egg substitute.
