Equipment

  • MICROWAVE SAFE MUG
  • Whisk or fork

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Combine Peanut Butter and Sugar
     In a microwave-safe mug, add 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Stir together until well combined.
  • Step 2: Add Egg and Mix
    Crack 1 large egg into the mug with the peanut butter and sugar mixture. Whisk everything together until smooth and evenly combined.
  • Step 3: Microwave
    Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave. The cake should rise and set, but still be slightly moist on top.
  • Step 4: Cool and Enjoy
    Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!) and allow the cake to cool for a minute before enjoying it straight from the mug or tipping it out onto a plate.

Notes

  • Customize your mug cake by adding chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a swirl of caramel sauce before microwaving for extra flavor and texture.
  • Ensure your mug is microwave-safe to avoid any accidents or damage.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to your taste preferences.
