Ingredients

1/4 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional: 2 tablespoons chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture

Instructions

In a microwave-safe mug, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, and pinch of salt. Stir together until well mixed.

Add in the milk, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a smooth batter forms.

If desired, fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.

Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Keep an eye on it to prevent overflow—microwave power levels may vary!

Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute before devouring. It's delicious on its own or topped with an extra spoonful of peanut butter, banana slices, or a drizzle of honey.
