I’m telling you, this is the easiest and most delicious vegan dessert that comes together in only 3 minutes.

It’s so good, you won’t even realize it’s made with just whole food plant-based ingredients. This mug cake is really the perfect snack if you’re craving something sweet but don’t feel like making a whole dessert.
How to make a peanut butter mug cake:
The process to make this microwavable peanut butter mug cake is so easy. All you have to do is mix all the ingredients in a small mug or ramekin. Pop it in the microwave for 60-75 seconds* and voila! Your mug cake is ready to eat! I like to top mine with chocolate chips, peanuts and peanut butter. Enjoy!
*Microwave time will vary depending on the microwave. You will know it is done when the center has risen and is firm.
Baking essentials:
- A microwave
- A microwave-safe mug, small bowl or ramekin
Substitutions:
- Almond flour: I have not tried any other flours in this recipe, so I can’t attest to how they would turn out. If you try a different flour, I would love to know how it turned out in the comments!
- Pure maple syrup:Â can be substituted for another liquid sweetener like agave nectar or date syrup.
- Applesauce: can be substituted with equal amounts mashed banana.
