Cake
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 1/2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (or almond butter, Note 1)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder Toppings
- peanut butter, jelly, and/or mashed berries
Instructions
- Step 1: Stir together all of the ingredients until smooth and then transfer to 1 small (4 inch) microwaveable ramekin(s) or wide, microwaveable mug. If making a single-serving cake, you can mix all of the ingredients directly in the ramekin until smooth.
- Step 2: Microwave the ramekin for 60 to 70 seconds, depending on your microwave strength. The cake have puffed up and look fluffy. Add any optional toppings over the cake. Let the cake rest 60 seconds to finish cooking.
- Serve: Grab a spoon and enjoy your cake directly from the ramekin.
Recipe Notes
Note 1A: Try to use a runny peanut (or almond) butter. Very thick butters will not stir as easily into the cake. Note 1B: Sunflower seed butter or tahini may be used here as a nut-free option. Keep in mind that using sunflower butter will turn this cake green. That is due to a natural reaction between the chlorophyll in sunflower seeds and the baking powder. The taste is still great and the color is completely harmless.
