I can’t think of a better combination than peanut butter and chocolate. This easy peanut butter mug cake combines my favorite two condiments for a great quick dessert. Best part is that it only makes enough for one, so you don’t have to share!

This simple recipe is also dorm-friendly, especially with this quick tip: you can buy flour, sugar, and baking soda in small quantities from the bulk section of most grocery stores to avoid buying more than you need.

Peanut Butter Nutella Stuffed Mug Cake

Difficulty:BeginnerPrep time: 2 minutesCook time: 1 minuteTotal time: 3 minutesServings:1 servings

Instructions

Combine flour, baking powder, sugar in a microwaveable mug or ramekin and mix.
Add in milk, peanut butter, vanilla extract and combine throughly.
#SpoonTip: Creamy peanut butter works best.
Create a pit in the middle of your batter with your fork or other stirring utensil to make room for the Nutella.
Drop a big spoonful of chocolatey Nutella into the centre and cover it with batter from the sides.
Microwave for 1 minute, if it isn’t quite cooked continue to microwave for 15 sec intervals until finished. Feel free to test it to check if its completely cooked. You don’t need to worry too much though because there is no egg. Now enjoy your chocolatey mug masterpiece!
