Preparation

Step 1

In a 12-ounce (or larger) mug, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and sugar.
Whisk in the flour until smooth, then whisk in the oats, pecans, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and nutmeg, if using.

Dollop the Nutella on top and push in gently so it is partially submerged in the cake batter.

Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds, and then in 15-second bursts until the top looks dry and cooked and springs back when pressed with a finger.

Let stand at least 5 minutes before eating, as the cake and Nutella center will be quite hot. Top with additional Nutella if desired.
