Ingredients
  

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (optional for a chocolate twist)

3 tablespoons milk (or your favorite dairy-free alternative)

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, or whipped cream

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder (if using).

    Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, peanut butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully combined and the batter is smooth.

      Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave's power, so start checking after 1 minute. The cake should be set but still moist in the center.

        Cool Down: Let the mug cake cool for a minute before indulging. This will also help enhance the rich peanut butter flavor.

          Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle with chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, or top with whipped cream for an extra treat.
