(WSVN) - Who doesn’t love dessert? Today we have a sweet-and-salty treat that is sure to become a favorite in your home. Chocolate peanut butter mug cake is on the menu, as we grab a Bite with Belkys.

Ingredients:
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 tbs. cocoa powder
½ tsp. baking powder
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
¼ cup milk
1 tbs. avocado oil
1 ½ tsp. Instant espresso powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 ½ tbs. creamy peanut butter
Chopped peanuts or flaky sea salt for garnish

Method of Preparation:

  • Whisk together flour, cocoa, and baking powder in a small bowl until well combined.
    Whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, oil, espresso powder, vanilla, egg, and 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut butter in a medium bowl until well combined.
    Whisk flour mixture into sugar mixture until mostly smooth and well combined (some very small lumps are okay).
  • Divide batter evenly between 2 (12-ounce) microwavable mugs.
    Evenly divide and dollop the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut butter in the center of the batter in each mug.
  • Microwave cakes, 1 at a time, on HIGH until tops are just set and a wooden pick inserted into center comes out with just some moist crumbs, 50 seconds to 1 minute and 10 seconds. (If cake is still underdone after 50 seconds, microwave on HIGH in 5- to 10-second intervals, as needed [see Note]; it’s normal for cake to rise and then sink slightly once removed from the microwave).
    Wipe sides and rims of mugs clean using a damp paper towel, if desired.
    Let cake stand at room temperature 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with peanuts and flaky sea salt.
