I often get antsy this time of year, eager for the perfect summer nights I’ll eventually spend around the fire pit with my family. And while those summer nights remain months away, I’ve found a delicious way to enjoy the flavors of s’mores in the meantime: making S’mores Mug Cake!
This single-serving dessert in a mug only takes a few minutes to make, and it’s every bit as good as my single-serve Rice Krispie Treat and extra-large chocolate chip cookie in a mug. You might already have everything you need to make one in your pantry!
The next time you have a hankering for something sweet, give this nostalgic treat a try.
How To Make S’mores Mug Cake (Recipe)
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp flour
- 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3 Tbsp milk
- 1 Tbsp butter, melted
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp chocolate chips
- 8-12 mini marshmallows
- 1 graham cracker, crushed
Directions:
Grease a large mug (at least 12 ounces) with some butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir.
Crush the graham cracker into small (but not too small) pieces on a plate or in a zip-top bag.
Add crushed graham cracker pieces, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows to the batter and stir. (You want the add-ins to be well incorporated, but avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake light.)
Pour the batter into the greased mug, then microwave it for 60-90 seconds. (In my 1000-watt microwave, it took about 70 seconds.)
Top your finished mug cake with a few more chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, or even a scoop of ice cream, and dig in!
