    Love this recipe but because I don't have flour I substituted oat bran and only used three T. I also used pb2 instead of peanut butter and water instead of milk. I used one tsp oil instead of one T and a large egg instead of medium. Those changes brought the calorie count to 278 so I ate it all! :) - 10/19/13

    Could you please tell me what wattage the microwave was to give me an idea of cooking time? - 8/7/08

    I use an 800 watt microwave for 3 minutes.

    i tried it as soon as i read it, it came out great, i prefer it a little sweeter,so next time,a little more splenda,i thought a tab of butter would make it a little less spongy...
    it was fun,but i started to get worried when it rose above the mug,but it was perfect.....made it in a 16 oz mug - 11/6/12

    Thought 3 tablespoon Splenda would be too much so used a teaspoon of sugar instead to avoid Splenda junk - 5/23/19

    I tweaked this in all directions! PB, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, oatbran and flaxseed, bound together by kefir. Made half the quantity. cals came out the same. I shall now make a mix of the dry ingredients, and add them to the PB, softened in the microwave, and stir it up with kefir. - 2/26/14

    Found it quite dry. I'd say add extra egg, or something else. Flavour was alright, but I'd say add more peanut butter. - 11/6/12

    This quenched the sweet tooth. I changed it a little. I used an extra large egg, and used skim milk and substituted the oil for a little diet soda. Pretty good, very fluffy. I re-calculated it with my extra large egg and omitting the oil and it came to 333 cal. Not sure why it would be so much more? - 1/24/10
