Peanut Butter Oatmeal Mug Cake
This Peanut Butter Oatmeal Mug Cake is the perfect way to enjoy dessert for breakfast! Okay, okay, I shouldn’t be encouraging cake for breakfast, but it’s got oatmeal in it and it’s served in a mug. Plus it tastes like peanut butter toast, so hey! Why not!
You see, I make a pretty good argument (it must be the law firm rubbing off on me) and you’re already telling yourself it’s okay to enjoy this little cake with your sweetie and a cup of coffee over the morning paper. And it definitely is, this is your life… it’s time to start living it right! And by right, I totally mean cake for breakfast!
A lot of people might say mug cakes are out, but guess what, they’re great for people like me with no self-control when it comes to sweet stuff. Mug cakes are the perfect fix when you just need a little something!
This is a double batch mug cake, making it perfect to enjoy with that special someone, Valentine’s Day is approaching after all! A light and fluffy old fashioned oatmeal cake with a rich peanut butter center, it tastes just like peanut butter toast! But feel free to cut the recipe in half to enjoy a smaller portion!
