Description
Peanut Butter and Jelly Mug Cake is a single serving of cake that’s baked in the microwave. It’s rich, moist, and chocolaty with a peanut butter and jelly center. It comes together in just minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar (can sub brown sugar)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk (can sub water or other type of milk)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon raspberry jam (can use any flavor of jam you like)
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl use a fork to combine the dry ingredients: coconut flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix in the wet ingredients until well incorporated: coconut oil, egg, almond milk, vanilla . Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon half of the cake batter mixture into a 12 ounce microwave-safe bowl. Then spoon in the peanut butter and the jelly but do not mix. Add the remainder of the cake batter over top of the peanut butter and jelly.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until the the top of the cake looks cooked and the sides have begun to pull away from the edges of the mug. My microwave is 1450 watts. Depending on the wattage of your microwave, your cook time may take longer. I suggest microwaving in increments of 30 seconds and checking the cake to determine if it needs to bake some more.
- Allow the cake to cool for 5 minutes. Top with a little more peanut butter and jelly, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
If you are short on time and would prefer to mix all of your ingredients in the mug then skip mixing the batter in a separate bowl and mix it in the mug. Simply swirl the peanut butter and jelly on the top of the mug cake directly in the mug. Either way is delicious!
As stated in the cooking directions the cook time of 1 minute is based on the wattage of my microwave (1450). Depending on your microwave wattage you may need to adjust your time. I suggest microwaving in increments of 30 seconds, removing the mug cake, then determine by the look and feel if you need to microwave it another 30 seconds.
