For this recipe you will need natural peanut butter, sugar (I used coconut sugar), and a large egg.
You can add optional chocolate chips to make this a chocolate peanut butter mug cake! Use unsweetened natural peanut butter and a sweetener instead of sugar to make a keto peanut butter mug cake.
Mix the peanut butter, sugar and egg into the mug. Mix well with a fork or small whisk, until the ingredients are fully incorporated together. Add the optional chocolate chips if you like and mix well.
Microwave the mug cake for 1 minute. Remove the cake from the microwave and allow it to cool. Once cooled top with your favorite toppings if you like and and enjoy! I like to add dark chocolate because it tastes like Reese’s peanut butter cups, which is my favorite treat.
