Microwave Peanut Butter and Chocolate Mug Cake

When a sweet craving hits, being able to whip up something delicious and satisfying like this Peanut Butter & Chocolate Mug Cake is…amazing! Even better, it can be made in minutes?? Even better!

5 Minute Peanut Butter and Chocolate Mug Cake

Just a handful of ingredients will have you doing the happy food dance as you scoop up spoonful’s of this yummy mug cake. It’s easily customizes, for example add in extra chocolate chips or leave them out all-together, drizzle chocolate overtop, add a layer of chips in the middle for a gooey center or add a scoop of whipped cream or ice cream. The options are plenty.

Make this directly in your mug or, do as I do and make it in a small bowl and they transfer it (that way I don’t end up with streaks on top of the mug as I mix it that may cook onto the mug).

Microwaves vary by strength of course however generally this cake can be cooked in about a minute.
