Pinterest Pin Review - Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake

My husband and I were wishing we had bought some cookies, or candy...or anything really to snack on. But, alas, we had nothing. I had read about make at home mug cakes on Pinterset, and thought I'd give one a go - you can find the pin here: http://eatdrinkcraft.blogspot.ca/2012/03/best-chocolate-mug-cake-no-serioulsy.html

It was a fairly simple recipe, and it looked like a too-small amount at first, but it is soooooo good!

Here is the recipe:
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon of sugar (or to taste)
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon oil
handful of mini chocolate chips (I used just regular ones)
1 Tbs peanut butter (or caramel, jam, nutella, almond butter, etc)

In a small mug combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt until no lumps remain. Stir in the milk and oil until smooth. Make sure to scrape your fork around the edges of the cup so you don't get pockets of dry flour. Mix in the chocolate chips. Drop the peanut butter into the chocolate mix and push it down to submerge. Bake in the microwave on high for 1 minute. You may need to add or subtract 5-10 seconds depending on your microwave, but don’t be tempted to overcook or it will be dry. It should still be moist on the bottom and will continue cooking as it sets.

Give it a try, you'll love it!
