Peanut Butter Oatmeal Mug Cake

This Peanut Butter Oatmeal Mug Cake is the perfect way to enjoy dessert for breakfast! Okay, okay, I shouldn’t be encouraging cake for breakfast, but it’s got oatmeal in it and it’s served in a mug. Plus it tastes like peanut butter toast, so hey! Why not!

You see, I make a pretty good argument (it must be the law firm rubbing off on me) and you’re already telling yourself it’s okay to enjoy this little cake with your sweetie and a cup of coffee over the morning paper. And it definitely is, this is your life… it’s time to start living it right! And by right, I totally mean cake for breakfast!

Ingredients

1 Mug Cake

6 tablespoons whole milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons 1-minute oatmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons peanut butter

Steps

Whisk milk, vegetable oil, and sugar together in a 12 oz. or large mug.
Whisk in the flour until smooth.
Whisk in the oatmeal, baking powder, and salt until full incorporated.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of peanut butter on top and push slightly into the batter.
Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds, and then in 15-second bursts until the top looks dry and cooked and springs back when pressed with a finger. Mine took about 90 seconds to cook.
Top with the remaining tablespoon of peanut butter and let stand at least 5 minutes before eating.

Notes

Slightly Adapted from The Kitchn.
Throw a small handful of mini chocolate chips into the batter for extra fun!
