What goes better together than Peanut Butter and Jelly? Nothing. When I saw this recipe in 5-Minute Mug Cakes: Nearly 100 Yummy Microwave Cakes
Dessert rarely gets made around here unless we’re having company over, for the simple reason that we can’t – or at least shouldn’t – finish it all. And nobody likes leftovers. Mug cakes are the perfect solution to this little problem.
The fact that there were only 6 ingredients required was also appealing to me. I tend to avoid recipes using a lot of different ingredients.
Supplies:
Other recipes in this book I plan on trying soon include:
- Coconut Lover’s cake
- Strawberries and Cream Cake
- Peanut butter cup cake
- Kahlua chocolate cake
- There are even skinny mug cakes for when the diet starts on January 1st.
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 4 tsp granulated sugar
- 4 tbsp fat-free milk
- 3 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 heaping tbsp jam
- Combine all ingredients except for jam in a microwave-safe mug. Mix with a small whisk or fork until batter is smooth.
- Scoop out half of the batter and set aside.
- Drop tablespoon of jam into the center of the batter in the mug, and then cover with the batter that was set aside.
- Cook in the microwave for 1 minute. If not done, heat an additional 15 seconds. Let cake cool for a few minutes and enjoy while still warm or within a few hours of cooking.
Be extra generous with the jam. Recipe courtesy of 5-Minute Mug Cakes: Nearly 100 Yummy Microwave Cakes
YUM, this looks so awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Love mug cakes! They’re so fun and always surprise the kids that you can do that.
I am not a real big fan of cake, but this one sounds amazing! I love peanut butter and jelly. :) Thanks for joining the fun at the Home Matters Linky Party. Pinned and shared.
Merry Christmas!

This sounds absolutely deee-vine! I can’t wait to try it!
I’ve never tried a mug cake. This looks really addicting.
This is a fun recipe for kids to make, especially at a birthday party.
I’ve heard of cooking things in mugs and didn’t think it would work, this is awesome!
You are so right. I end up having SO much leftovers. For the first time, we made desserts and it was all gone before the guests left. Normally I end up eating it all, because I hate throwing food away. This is a perfect solution.
What a fun idea to make it in the mug. I bet this would be a nice weekend treat for the kids.
I’ve tried multiple mug cakes over the years. So good, and some not-so-much. I never thought about a PB&J. Looks tasty.
