FLOURLESS PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP MUG CAKE

Last week I was fortunate enough to have a long weekend. But as a result, this regular week seemed endless! I am so ready for the weekend.

I haven’t been in the mood for any serious baking since the new year started. Perhaps it’s burnout from all the holiday baking. I’ve mainly been in the mood for soups, warm meals, etc. But even so, I still crave sweets to end my meal, so I whipped up a new mug cake recipe.


I previously already shared a 3 ingredient flourless peanut butter mug cake. I made a few tweaks to this version, including adding warm and melty chocolate. Because chocolate makes everything better. I also added baking powder to make the cake fluffier. And I replaced the white sugar with brown sugar as it adds more complexity to the flavor of the cake.

The cake comes out very fluffy. However because there is no flour, you won’t have the loose crumbs of traditional cake.

INGREDIENTS:

•  3 tbsp creamy peanut butter
•  1 tbsp packed light brown sugar
•  1/4 tsp baking powder
•  1 large egg
•  2 tbsp chocolate chips divided (or substitute half the chocolate chips with chopped high quality chocolate)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Add all ingredients except chocolate to a large microwave-safe mug. Mix with a small whisk until batter is very smooth. Stir in 1 tbsp of chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate if using). Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over surface of cake.
2. Cook cake at full power in the microwave for about 1 minute and 15 seconds or until cake is do
