An easy vegan chocolate mug cake recipe, that only needs 5 ingredients to make a fudgy brownie in a mug. The beauty of this is that it’s done in about 5 minutes! Perfect for a quick dessert after dinner.

The beauty of a mug cake for one is that the mug holds the brownie together, you don’t need to take it out of the mug and slice it, which means the structural integrity of the mug brownie is not important!

Vegan Mug Cake Substitutions

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 35 g/2 heaping tbsp of flour
• 2 tbsp of cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons of maple syrup
• 1 heaping spoon of runny peanut butter sub for other nut butter
• 60 ml of water
• 1/2 tsp of baking powder

Instructions

 

• In a bowl place dry ingredients (flour, cocoa, baking powder) and whisk together.
• To the dry ingredients add the maple syrup, peanut butter, water & whisk. You want the batter to be quite loose.
• Pour the batter into a large mug.
• Prepare the microwave, pop a small plate for you to place the mug on, just in case there is any overflow.
• Microwave for 35 seconds to start. (on a high-temperature setting in my microwave) this is perfect and still a bit gooey, you may need a little more or less to test it. Remember with a microwave recipe often cooks a little more on sitting, so it's best to start with a shorter time frame.
• Serve with a scoop of ice cream if you like.

Notes

Enjoy hot with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream if you like.
