Healthy Peanut Butter Mug Cake (Single-Serving + Vegan)

– 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.
