Nutter Butter Mug Cake
Description
The recipe begins by finely crushing three Nutter Butter cookies until they form crumbs. These crumbs are combined with sugar, baking powder, and optional mini chocolate chips in a microwave-safe mug. Milk is added to bring the mixture together into a batter-like consistency.
Microwaving the mixture for about 1 minute produces a moist mug cake that retains the distinctive peanut buttery cookie flavor. Cooling for a few minutes helps the cake set, yielding a tender interior with some crumbly texture from the cookie base.
The method provides a convenient single portion dessert with minimal ingredients and preparation time. Adjust microwave time in short increments to ensure the cake is cooked through without drying out.
If a food processor is unavailable, cookies can be crushed by hand to a fine crumble for the cake base.
Ingredients
- 3 cookies Nutter Butter brand
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon mini chocolate chips optional
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- In a food processor, crush nutter butter cookies until fine crumbs form.
- Add the crumbs, sugar, mini chocolate chips, and baking powder to a 6-8oz. microwave safe mug and stir.
- Add the milk and mix to combine.
- Microwave for 1 minute, adding 10 seconds more if needed.
- Remove from the microwave and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Adjust microwave cooking time in 10-second increments to avoid overcooking.
- Three cookies produce about 1.6 ounces of crumbs for the recipe.
- Crush cookies by hand if a food processor is not available, aiming for a fine, even crumb.
