Earlier I posted a cookie and a cake. But what if your kiddo asks for cake or cookie in the evening after coming from school? Or what if you have a sudden craving of sweet? Here is the solution – Single serving eggless microwave peanut butter cake – A rich, sweet and protein loaded mug cake with the goodness of peanut butter. 

I always look out easy after school snacks and that’s when I stumbled upon this recipe and tried it right away. I didn’t make it vegan, though. This has become one staple mug cake in our household, but it took this long to appear on my blog. Two tablespoons of peanut butter contain 8 grams of protein. That’s quite a chunk of daily protein intake. Being a vegetarian, I always hunt down for protein-rich foods and this peanut butter is one among them. But vaandu doesn’t opt for PBJ sandwiches and also not a super big fan of sweetened peanut butter. So when I was thinking how to add PB in his diet, this recipe came as a rescue. I love the fact that it’s super simple and can be preparing in less than 5 minutes. Here is my version of Eggless Peanut Butter Mug Cake,

For years I’ve been focusing on developing my own recipes for my Blog, but I needed a break, so I keep following your recipe! I love your recipes because they look delicious, and also because they are very similar to how I prepare my own recipes. Great minds think alike?! lol!
