Wholesome Ingredients for a Healthier Treat
This delightful little cake blends the nutty richness of peanut butter with the sweet joy of chocolate chips, all while keeping things light and healthy with natural sweeteners and grain-free flours.
• Creamy Peanut Butter: Acts as the heart of this cake, providing a rich, creamy texture and deep nutty flavor. Peanut butter is not only delicious but also offers a good dose of protein and healthy fats.
• Almond Flour: A fantastic grain-free alternative to traditional wheat flour, almond flour is low in carbs and high in nutrients like fiber and vitamin E, giving this cake a moist, tender crumb without any gluten
. • Maple Syrup: As a natural sweetener, maple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness while keeping the cake refined sugar-free. Its subtle woody notes complement the flavors of peanut butter and chocolate beautifully.
• Dairy-Free Milk: Makes the cake batter smoother and lighter. You can use any dairy-free milk you have on hand, such as almond, soy, or coconut milk, ensuring the recipe stays dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
• Chocolate Chips: No peanut butter cake would be complete without the addition of chocolate chips. They melt into the cake, creating pockets of gooey chocolate that make every bite a delight. • Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla enhances all the other flavors in the cake, adding an aromatic sweetness that ties everything together perfectly.
tips for the best results :
- Do not over bake: check on your cake periodically, it will cook as it cools!
- Do not overfill: don’t use too small of a mug— or use a wide ramekin because it never spills over!
