Gluten Free Nutella and Peanut Butter Microwave Cookie

A few years ago, before my Coeliac Disease diagnosis, I made this mug cookie with traditional flour. I wanted to re-share it with two slight adjustments that will make it suitable for people who need to or choose to avoid gluten. The changes are simple, I removed the vanilla (because I liked it better without, but you can keep it in-it's always gluten-free)and I swapped an equal portion of flour with ground almonds. Easy!

Ingredients:

For the Gluten Free Nutella and Peanut Butter Microwave Cookie
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
1 tbsp (heaped) Nutella
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp brown sugar, packed
3 tbsp ground almonds
