Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Mug Cake! Yum!!
FIRSTOFF how has the start of your New Year been?? To be honest I haven´t been able to work much yet, because the kids only went back to school today. In Spain people generally exchange presents on Three Kings Day which is January the 6th. You can watch the Three Kings Parade video I shared on Facebook here. It´s a biggggg deal here in Spain, and although some families share presents during Christmas as well, the REAL exchange happens on the 6th.
AND The Spanish are not stingy during this time either… I´ve never EVER got so many presents for “Christmas” until I married my Spanish (Canarian) husband. The kids (especially) get spoilt rotten 🙂 To name a few of the gifts I got: (just like a mini haul) winter pyjamas, a great smokey eye make-up palette, 2 gorgeous lipsticks, luxury vanilla scented bubble bath, a stunning coat, clothes, boots, chocolates… Oh and we got a new PUPPY too! The best present ever!! Meet CHASE. Named after one of the ever so famous PAW PATROL PUPS that my son Luca loves to watch 🙂
He is adorable. isn´t he?
Today I want to share with you guys this super delicious but oh so easy mug cake recipe. The best part it´s super healthy too!! 🙂
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons gluten free oats flour (make your own by blending gluten free oats in your blender)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons fat-free milk
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth)
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix with a rubber spatula until the batter is smooth. Smooth out the surface with a small rubber spatula or the back of a spoon before cooking. This won't affect the taste but the end result will be prettier.
- Cook in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. If the cake is not done, nicrowave an additional 15 seconds.
- Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before eating. Best eaten while still warm or within a few hours of it being cooked.
Notes
This recipe was adapted from Eggless Peanut Butter Mug Cake by Kirbie´s Cravings.
Let me know if you guys make it? Until my next post guys! Think Pizza, think Mamma Mia, think Italy!

What a cool cookbook! I love you mug cake too! The only problem is that it makes baking one so easy- I don’t know if my self-control could handle it! haha
That´s very true Shelby lol! The plan is to make them healthy, even if they are easy 🙂

You should because it’s a special day 🙂 🙂 Thanks!
I am so loving this cake Johlene. but I must admit, Chase definitely stole my heart and this post. He is just so darn adorable. Enjoy your puppy.
I agree Chase is adorable! Love the little (guy) pup so much!! 🙂
I have yet to make a mug cake! Your recipe would be a great place to start! It sounds amazing! Who doesn’t love peanut butter?!
Thanks Jen! The people here in Spain don´t love peanut butter as much as we do though 🙂 🙂
Those little cakes look delicious. I am always looking for good GF recipes for the GF people in my life. 🙂 That cookbook looks great. I love the idea of supporting other bloggers.
Thanks Gian! Love your name by the way 🙂
What a fun cookbook! And this mug cake looks incredible. Can you believe that I have never made cake in a mug? I definitely need to try your recipe though. I’m pretty sure I could eat it for breakfast, lunch or dessert 🙂
Thanks Ashley! I am a huge fan of mug cakes! They are so easy to make and the best part is there´s no leftovers to stare you in the face.. 🙂

Thank You Emily! 🙂
Congratulations on the e-book! That’s terrific! And your new puppy has stolen my heart. Just look at those adorable eyes!
That mug cake looks perfect. I need to have more desserts that are single serving like that. It’s a great way to stop me from eating a whole pan of bars. 🙂
Thanks Amanda! He has stolen all of our hearts… The best part of the mug cake is that it’s healthy, I used coconut oil and oat flour, and it’s eggless too. Oh and did I mention gluten free!? Have a great week!!
That eBook sounds awesome! But let’s talk about Chase. Wow! That pup looks adorable! I’m imagining him running around on Three Kings Day grabbing all of the wrapping paper. I know that’s what our dogs do on Christmas! I can’t wait to hear more stories from Chase! 🙂 (Oh, and that mug cake looks amazing…as always!)
Ok! I´ll be sharing more of CHASE and his adventures in the months to come 🙂 You asked for it! 🙂 ps. he loves any paper but we (don´t love) picking it up 😉 lol
