In a microwave-safe mug, add almond butter (or peanut butter).
Mix in cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
Add vanilla essence and combine.
Stir in sugar (or honey/maple syrup) until evenly mixed.
Pour in milk and stir until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Microwave for about 60–75 seconds, until the top is set but the center is still slightly fudgy.
Top with banana slices, dried raspberries, and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy warm.
Add a teaspoon of instant coffee for a mocha twist.
Stir in chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture.
Swap almond butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.

How can I make this mug cake vegan?
