Brownie Mug Cake with Peanut Butter Filling

Fudge-y brownie with a creamy peanut butter filling, topped off with chocolate chips and a scoop of your favorite vegan vanilla ice cream: could there be anything better? Oh, and it bakes in less than a minute!

We are so excited to share this recipe because our teenage years were filled with making chocolate mug cakes while binge watching our favorite tv shows.

A chocolate mug cake was the first recipe I ever memorized! Cooking without following a recipe is second nature now, but, as a teenager, it felt like such an accomplishment to be able to make something so delicious and addictive without following a recipe.

There is something so magical about combining chocolate with peanut butter, this mug cake is going to be everyone’s new go-to after dinner dessert! Most nights when I crave dessert, I don’t want to spend an hour making a full cake just for me to eat a piece of it to satisfy my sweet tooth. This Brownie Mug Cake with Peanut Butter Filling takes less than two minutes to make and is the perfect size for one person!
