Ingredients
  

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

A pinch of salt

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (optional for chocolate lovers)

3 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

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

Instructions
 

In a microwave-safe mug (around 12 oz), combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder if using. Whisk together until well-blended.

    Add the milk, creamy peanut butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth batter, ensuring there are no lumps.

      If desired, fold in a few chocolate chips or chopped peanuts for an extra burst of flavor.

        Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute and 15 seconds. Begin checking at 1 minute, as cooking times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave. The mug cake should look set in the middle and slightly springy to the touch.

          Let the mug cake sit for 1-2 minutes after microwaving to cool slightly, as it will be very hot.

            Optionally, top with your favorite toppings such as chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, or a dollop of whipped cream before digging in. Enjoy your deliciously easy peanut butter mug cake!
