Ingredients
  • 4 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • Pinch Salt
  • 3 tbsp Milk
  • 1 tbsp Peanut Butter
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract

Prep the Mug

Grab a microwave-safe mug (12-16 oz). Make sure it's clean and ready to go!

Combine Dry Stuff

In the mug, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together until there are no more clumps.

Add the Wet

Add the milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix everything really well until the batter is nice and smooth.

Microwave Time!

Pop the mug into the microwave and cook on high for 60-90 seconds. Keep an eye on it! Every microwave is different, so it might take a little more or less time. You want it cooked through but not overflowing.

Cool and Enjoy!

Let it cool for a minute before digging in. It'll be hot! Eat it right from the mug, or if you're fancy, put it on a plate.
