Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp oat flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips optional

Instructions
 

  • Lightly oil one large mug or 2 ramekin dishes.
  • Add the egg, peanut butter and maple syrup directly into the mug, or in a mixing bowl. Mix to form a batter, then fold in the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • If using a bowl, transfer into your mug or 2 ramekins, then sprinkle a few optional chocolate chips on top.
  • Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes (the time will depend on the strength of your microwave. Mine is a 900W microwave, so I only microwaved it for 1 minute).
  • * You want to stop cooking your mug cake a little earlier than you think as it will continue to cook as it cools down. If you leave it in for too long, the cake will be dry. Make sure you keep an eye on it while it cooks.
  • Allow to cool slightly, then dig in!
