– vegan – gluten free – grain free – refined sugar free – oil free –

I’m telling you, this is the easiest and most delicious vegan dessert that comes together in only 3 minutes. All you will need is 7-8 simple ingredients, a mug, and a microwave, and you’re on your way to peanut butter heaven. 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: can be substituted for another liquid sweetener like agave nectar or date syrup.
  • Applesauce: can be substituted with equal amounts mashed banana.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup almond flour

  • 2 tbsp applesauce, unsweetened

  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup

  • 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • Dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

  • Combine ingredients. In your mug or ramekin, mix together all the ingredients until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps remaining.
  • Microwave. Microwave for 60 seconds then check to see if it’s fully cooked. You will know it’s ready if the center is risen and firm to the touch. If not, microwave for another 10-20 seconds.
  • Add toppings (optional). My favorite toppings are chocolate chips, peanut butter or peanuts. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe makes one servings.
  • I recommend enjoying this mug cake immediately but you can also store it in the fridge for up to 1 day.
