Vegan White Peach Mug Cobbler With Cardamom

Name: Vegan White Peach Mug Cobbler With Cardamom
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 3 tablespoon dark brown sugar, divided (use a vegan brand, if that matters to you); 1 tablespoon oat, almond, or soy milk (regular is fine, too); 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1 pinch ground cardamom; 1 pinch kosher salt; 1/4 cup all-purpose flour; 1 white-fleshed peach, cut into 1/8 wedges; 1 scoop your favorite vegan vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

I'll be honest: I didn't intend for this peach cobbler recipe to 1) germinate in a coffee mug, 2) take just five minutes to make, or 3) be totally, unequivocally vegan. But it is all of those things. As I tested variations on what I deemed to be a proper "single-serving peach cobbler" (a prompt I had given myself for my solo dining column, Table for One), I found that here it didn't make much sense to turn on the oven for a mere fistful of fruity biscuit. Especially in the heat of summer. Which is why the 12-ounce mug—that beautiful, versatile beast—found its way back into my life, this time as a gooey microwave peach cobbler. The microwave, surprisingly, bakes up a gorgeous sponge and bubbles up the brown sugar in a way that causes it to transform into toffee-like deliciousness, not to mention blanket the juicy white-fleshed peaches in a duvet of caramel. Note: All microwaves are different, so you may need to adjust the cook times here according to your model and make.
