Ingredients

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional, for a chocolate twist)

1/8 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons milk (any type)

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate chips (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions

In a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder (if using), baking powder, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Add the milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until you achieve a smooth batter without lumps, ensuring the peanut butter is well mixed in.

If desired, fold in a handful of chocolate chips for an extra indulgent touch.

Microwave the mug on high for 40-60 seconds. Start checking at 40 seconds, as microwave power can vary. The cake is done when it has risen and the center looks set.

Let the mug cake cool for a minute before enjoying. You can top it with whipped cream, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat!
