Easy Vegan Peanut Butter Mug Cake
This is a sweet and nutty dessert that can be prepared in around 5 minutes. Not only is it vegan, but it's also gluten free AND free of refined sugars. It's really dense and delicious, like a pudding. Team up with a dollop of whipped coconut cream for a really indulgent dessert.
