Decadent Microwave Peanut Butter Chocolate Mug Cake

Ingredients

- Nonstick cooking spray
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter

Instructions

1. Prepare the Mug
Lightly coat the inside of a large microwave-safe mug with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients
In the mug, combine 3 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir well using a fork or small whisk until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients
Add 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Blend thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

4. Add Peanut Butter
Gently drop 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter into the center of the chocolate batter. Push it slightly down with a spoon to ensure it is covered with batter.

5. Microwave Cook
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds (PT1M30S). Cooking times may vary depending on the microwave's wattage, so check the cake for doneness. The top should be set and slightly firm to the touch.

6. Cool and Serve
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave using an oven mitt, as it will be hot. Let the mug cake cool for a minute before digging in. Enjoy your dessert directly from the mug with a spoon.
