I don’t indulge in the “bad” stuff much, but I do love peanut butter! Now p-nut butter is not bad, but if you use it in desserts then, well, you know.
While I don’t usually have cravings (not even when I was pregnant), I saw this mug cake and thought, YUM!
MUG PB & J CAKE
2 Tbsp. PB
1 lg egg
1 Tbsp. oil
1/4 C milk of your choice
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 C br. sugar
1/3 C self-rising flour
(or mix a C of your own: 1 C AP, 1-1/2 tsp. powder
1/2 tsp. salt)
pinch salt (cut if you mixed your own SR Flour)
2 tbsp. jelly/jam
In a large mug, whisk pb and egg. Whisk in the rest except jelly. Top with jelly. microwave 1-1/2-2-1/2 minutes until done and smooth.
LOL-I hear you! I love vegan CHOCOLATE pudding! DH-wonders why I would like pudding at all. Making it in the microwave in a single portion is quick, easy and I can indulge w/ my 125 calorie comfort food and he can sit there w/ his pint of ice cream-which I can’t eat and wouldn’t if I could!
Ah! Chocolate pudding in the microwave! Why haven’t I thought of that before? Just a mug-full for me instead of eating a whole kettle full.
yep! Here’s a bit of what I do:
4 tsps. BOTH corn starch and cocoa powder
1/4 C or to taste of sugar substitute (I switch off between splenda, truvia and agave and use about the equivalent of 1/4 C)
dash of salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 C Almond Milk (vanilla and only 30 cal! and lots of protein/calcium)
sometimes I like to add 1/4 tsp of cinnamon for a bit of a Mexican chocolate flavor
Stir dry ingredients in a large mug until well-blended. whish in milk. It won’t mix in too well. Microwave in 40 sec intervals until hot and thick. cool/chill-ENJOY!
Son would love that mug PB & J, as he could eat jars of peanuts. I am more of an almond lover, so the pudding would be a great idea.
I did pudding last night, but didn’t have my cornstarch/liquid ratio right so I really had very thick hot chocolate. Which was still YUMMY. And I had whipping cream left in the frig from something I didn’t get made over Christmas, so I used half cream, half milk. MMMMMMMMMmmmmmm good!
Tulip-it probably would’ve thickened up quite nicely if it had cooled in the fridge for 1/2 hour or so!
Marya-try the mug cake w/ almond butter! I’m sure it would also be yummy!
It might also have needed to cook a bit longer. By the time I got to the bottom of the mug, I was tasting like undercooked cornstarch.
I’m making the PB mug for hubby today.
tulip-it’s got to be stirred really well after each of the heatings! oops, I do it often enough that it’s second nature to me. 
I want to try it w/ almond, cashew butters and maybe tahini too. but those are pricey and will have to wait!
I check the prices at Trader Joe and Whole Foods on a regular basis and compare, and the almond butter pretty much stays the same in price..but, for a special recipe I would probably buy it. It is so much lighter than the peanut.
we‘re in the “boonies“! no trader joe’s and the closest whole foods is 32 miles away. the nearest Sprout’s is 18
