Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Directions
- In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Add the milk, peanut butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir well until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
- Drop spoonfuls of strawberry jam onto the surface of the batter in the mug. Use a knife to swirl the jam into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set in the center. Cooking time may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave, so keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
- Carefully remove the mug from the microwave using oven mitts, as it will be hot. Allow the mug cake to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Optional: Sprinkle chopped peanuts and powdered sugar on top of the mug cake for added texture and sweetness.
- Serve the PB&J Mini Mug Cake warm and enjoy!
