Total Time: 6 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine the coconut flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Add the peanut butter, egg, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry mixture in the mug. Use a fork or a small whisk to thoroughly combine all the ingredients until you have a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps of flour remaining.
- Once the batter is well mixed, scrape down the sides of the mug to ensure everything is incorporated. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60 seconds. Keep an eye on it as microwaves can vary in power; you want the cake to rise and be set in the center.
- After cooking, carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!). Allow the cake to cool for a minute or two before enjoying.
- For added flavor, consider topping your mug cake with sliced bananas, a drizzle of additional peanut butter, or a sprinkle of chocolate chips before serving.
Tips
- Microwave Power: Keep in mind that microwave wattages vary. Start with 60 seconds, but check your cake; if it’s not fully set in the center, continue cooking in 10-second increments.
- Mixing Techniques: Use a fork or a small whisk to ensure your batter is smooth and lump-free. This will give you a better texture in your finished cake.
- Ingredient Swaps: Feel free to swap honey for maple syrup based on your preference or dietary needs. Both sweeteners work wonderfully in this recipe!
- Topping Ideas: Elevate your mug cake by adding toppings like sliced bananas, a dollop of extra peanut butter, or even a sprinkle of chocolate chips for a decadent finish.
- Serving Suggestions: This mug cake is best enjoyed warm right out of the microwave, but you can also pair it with a scoop of your favorite ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
