Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Mug Cake

Mug cakes are great when you are craving a sweet dessert and have little time to cook. This delicious peanut butter chocolate delight takes less than 3 minutes to cook! Made with fresh peanut butter and plant-based milk created in the NutraMilk and just a few more simple ingredients. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

• 4 tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup plant-based milk of choice made with the NutraMilk
• 3 tbsp. creamy peanut butter made with the NutraMilk
• 3 tbsp. semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chocolate chips

For peanut butter

• 2 cups (275g) peanuts (untoasted, unsalted)
• pinch salt (optional)
  

INSTRUCTIONS

• Start by making the peanut butter
  • Place peanuts in the NutraMilk container.
  • Press Butter cycle, set for 2-3 minutes.
  • Press Start.
  • Open the container lid.
  • If necessary, set for an additional 1-2 minutes for a creamier butter.

• In a microwave safe mug, add all ingredients except chocolate. Using a small whisk, mix vigorously until batter is smooth and no flour chunks remain.
• Stir 1 tbsp. of chocolate chips into the cake batter. Add another 1 tbsp. concentrated in the center/middle of the batter (so that when you dig into the center of your cake when it’s finished, it has a concentrated amount of chocolate). Sprinkle remaining 1 tbsp. on top.

• Cook in the microwave at full power for about 1 minute. If cake batter is still gooey, cook for an additional 15 seconds. Allow cake to cool a few minutes before eating. Cake is best eaten warm.

NOTES

• It is best to eat the cake directly from the mug and avoid removing it from the mug to eat it as the crumb is looser than a traditional cake.
• If you choose to omit the chocolate chips, you may need to add more sugar to the batter.
• This cake was cooked in a 1000 watt microwave. If your microwave is wattage is different, you may need to adjust time.
