Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
02 - 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
05 - Pinch of salt
06 - 2 tablespoons whole milk
07 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
08 - 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - In a large microwave-safe mug, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk thoroughly to blend evenly.
02 - Add milk, vegetable oil, and peanut butter to the mug. Stir until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
03 - Microwave on high for 1 minute and 10 seconds. The cake will rise and then settle slightly as it cools.
04 - Allow the cake to cool slightly, then serve warm directly from the mug. Optionally top with whipped cream or ice cream.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For best texture, avoid using egg. It makes the mug cake too spongy.
02 - A large mug prevents overflow as the batter rises during cooking.
03 - Stir the batter thoroughly to eliminate dry pockets of flour or cocoa.
