  • 1 pinch salt

  2. Add oat flour, peanut butter, baking powder, chocolate chips, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mug. Mix until well combined.

Notes

This mug cake is best enjoyed warm straight out of the microwave. You can serve it as is or top it with a dollop of yogurt or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat. Drizzling a little honey or maple syrup on top adds a lovely sweetness. Feel free to sprinkle some nuts or extra chocolate chips on the top for added texture.
