When we’re stressed, and in a rush, it’s tempting to over-eat. Or make bad choices. That’s where this mug cake recipe is especially handy. Not only is it delicious, but it takes very little work and is a smarter choice than other common treats.
No, this isn’t the healthiest of desserts. But it’s a better indulgence because:
- It’s actually big enough to split by two people.
- There’s some good protein in that peanut butter.
- But most important: You’re automatically stopped at one serving!
It also comes together in just a couple minutes, using ingredients you usually have around. Enjoy!
