Step-by-Step Instructions
Making this Cottage Cheese Peanut Butter Mug Cake is a breeze! First, grab your trusty microwave-safe mug, and add in the cottage cheese. I love using a mug that’s just slightly larger than you think you need, as the cake will rise a bit. Next, add the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, rolled oats, baking powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together with a fork or whisk until the batter is smooth and well-combined. It’s truly rewarding to see all the ingredients come together in that one little mug!
