Print Recipe

A fast and easy single-serving peanut butter mug cookie made in the microwave in under a minute, featuring a gooey center and crispy edges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or almond milk)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine 3 tablespoons of peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir well until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until fully incorporated, about 20 seconds.
  3. Add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly to avoid lumps, about 30-40 seconds.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips if using, or sprinkle on top.
  5. Microwave on full power for 50-60 seconds. Watch closely as microwave strengths vary. The cookie should be set around the edges but soft and gooey in the center.
  6. Let the mug cookie sit for 1-2 minutes to firm up slightly while remaining gooey inside.
  7. Enjoy warm straight from the mug.

Notes

Adjust microwave time based on your microwave wattage; start with 50 seconds for stronger microwaves and 60 seconds for weaker ones. Avoid overcooking to keep the center gooey. Use a large enough mug to prevent overflow. Fresh baking powder ensures a better rise. For dairy-free, substitute milk with almond, coconut, or oat milk. Variations include using Nutella, gluten-free flour, or nut-free butters.
