One Minute Peanut Butter Chocolate Mug Cake
I love mug cakes. They are so easy to make and require very little clean-up. It takes a few minutes to put together and only about 1 minute of cooking time. Whenever I’m craving a sweet treat for one, I turn to a mug cake.
The other day I experimented with some other flavor mug cakes. So far I’ve made nutella chocolate mug cake and chocolate mug cake. I set about trying to make a peanut butter chocolate one.
The cake came out a little bit dryer than I had been expecting and the peanut butter flavor wasn’t intense enough for my personal preference. It was still a tasty cake though and really hit the spot. Next time I think I might not mix the peanut butter into the batter, but instead swirl it in.

What a cool idea! I’ve never tried making a mug cake before, but it’s hard to go wrong with anything that has cocoa powder and peanut butter in it. Do you think you could use oil instead of melted butter in this recipe?

Hi Matt- I think oil would work. I’ve done other mug cakes that use oil instead of butter so it should be okay.

Looks great and sounds really easy but I don’t envy the person that has to wash that mug. It must stick something awful.

It’s actually not too bad. If you wash it after you are done and use the scrub portion of the sponge it comes off pretty easily.

I do something similar with protein powder and peanut butter – probably doesn’t taste nearly as good though

Hmm..I’ve never added protein powder to desserts so I don’t know, but I’m thinking not..

I know that it’s weird but I don’t have a mirowave so I only can use oven. Do you think that it could work?

Hmm, I assume it would work in an oven but the baking time would be different. I’m not sure how it will turn out though

This is delicious! I made it and it was just a little undercooked so it was moist and chewy! yum!
