How to Make It
Step 1: Mix the Batter
In a microwave-safe mug, combine the brownie mix, almond milk, and egg. Stir until smooth and lump-free.
Step 2: Add the Lava Centre
Drop a spoonful of peanut butter or chocolate spread right into the middle of the batter. This is what creates that rich molten centre.
Step 3: Microwave
Microwave for 45–60 seconds depending on your microwave power.
The top should look cooked while the centre stays soft and gooey.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Dust with icing sugar, add extra chocolate chips, or top with a scoop of ice cream if you’re feeling fancy.
Pro Tip 👀
For an even gooier lava centre, freeze the peanut butter or chocolate spread for 10–15 minutes before adding it to the mug cake batter.
