Peanut Butter Cookie Mug Cake

I’m in love with mug cakes! They are seriously the greatest thing ever because I love desserts but usually don’t want a whole batch of cookies or an entire cake, I’d never get through it all.  A cookie in a mug is just one serving of perfection!

After making the Snickerdoodle Mug Cake a few weeks back, I knew I had to try one experimenting with other flavors.  I started with a peanut butter mug cake because peanut butter is so good! It worked out really quite well! Along with this one, there are at least two more mug cakes coming the next few weeks.  I might be a tad bit addicted to making them for lunch!

I’ve been addicted to peanut butter for years, I put it on literally everything from waffles to oatmeal to apparently wonderful  mug cakes now and sometimes I even grab a spoonful of peanut butter sometimes as a snack! Peanut butter and jam sandwiches are my lunches for school everyday too! I’m not sure what it is about peanut butter, but it is delicious!

    Now I’m all about chocolate normally, but I was really craving some peanut butter cookies last week, so the idea for this mug cake was born.

    This was AMAZING. I ommited butter as I’m vegan and still came out perfectly ???? I recommend drizzling a bit of maple syrup on top too. SO YUMMY

    I love peanut butter cookies…I would need to make this into a bowl cake so I could eat even more 🙂 I do love personal-sized desserts, so you can exercise some kind of self-control though. Pinning this one for sure
