Made in one mug with almond flour, cocoa, butter, egg, and vanilla, Almond Flour Mug Cake gives you two servings after just one minute in the microwave. The batter needs only three minutes of prep, so it works when a full cake is more than you need.

Pressure-cooked for 25 minutes, Peanut Butter Cheesecake combines yogurt, peanut butter, eggs, and sweetener in a crustless filling that serves eight. The optional topping adds crushed peanuts and a brown sugar substitute for extra texture.
