This mug cake is a quick and easy recipe. It’s perfect for when you’re craving something sweet!
The recipe only makes one serving, which is good because you can’t overeat and go over in points. 🙂

It’s 4 Freestyle points for this peanut butter chocolate mug cake. Not bad for a filling dessert!
If you want to bump it down to 3 points you can leave out the chocolate chips.

I used 1 teaspoon of mini chocolate chips which was 1 Freestyle point. If you leave out the chocolate chips you can still get some chocolate flavor by adding sugar-free chocolate syrup once it’s cooked.
There are a couple of things I changed to make this mug cake low in points. One thing is I used apple sauce instead of oil. That saved 6 points!
Instead of using regular peanut butter I used PB2 powder. That saved 5 points.
What could have been a 15 point dessert is only 4 points. Just a few simple changes is all it took.
To make the mug cake I mixed together the PB2 powder with some water, then added the apple sauce, Splenda and egg yolk. I whisked it together, then added the flour and baking powder and stirred it.

I added the batter to a coffee mug that was sprayed with no-stick cooking spray and cooked it in the microwave for 1 minute 20 seconds.

I drizzled a little bit of sugar-free chocolate sauce and PB2 on top for some extra flavor.

You can also add some fat-free whipped cream and it won’t change the points.

Yield: 1 serving (Blue and purple 4 points, green 6 points)
