Oozy Goozy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Mug Cake for One

Recipe, food preparation and photography by Carolyn J. Braden

Want a fluffy and light single-serve dessert fast and crave melty chocolate peanut butter? This is your answer! If you use my flour combo, it’s also gluten-free!

I’ve tried the store-bought, prepackaged mug cup mixes and tried them to be able to compare and contrast to my recipe. After trying several, I can honestly say over and over and over again—this one is BETTER! I promise!

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons Cassava flour

  • 1 tbsp oat flour

    (You could just use 4 total tbsp of regular flour in lieu of the 3+1 ratio of oat and cassava, but I think this combo makes it super light and fluffy)

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened plain almond milk (or use regular milk)

  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or regular sugar)

  • 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

  • tiny pinch of salt

  • 2 teaspoons mini chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life Dairy Free Mini Chocolate Chips)

  • 1 mini chocolate peanut butter cup (I use Justin’s Organic Peanut Butter Cups)

How-to:

  1. Mix the flours, vanilla, baking powder, milk, sugar, peanut butter, salt and chocolate chips in a microwave safe mug.

  2. After mixing the ingredients well, top the mixture with one mini chocolate peanut butter cup. After placing it in the center, push it down into the mixture slightly.

  3. Microwave for approximately 70 seconds.

Eat and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks:

  • Make this dairy-free by omitting the chocolate peanut butter cup and only add the vegan chocolate chips.

  • Don’t like milk chocolate? Try it with Justin’s dark chocolate or white chocolate peanut butter cups and omit the chocolate chips.

  • Don’t like peanut butter or don’t want the peanut butter flavor? Substitute in cashew butter OR your favorite nut or seed butter instead!
