Ingredients
- 1/2 extra ripe banana (about 1/4 cup mashed banana)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted and cooled
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour (or sub 1:1 gluten free all purpose flour)
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Optional:
- 1 tablespoon mini or regular chocolate chips, plus more for topping
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts, plus more for topping
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mash the banana half. Add in the coconut oil, brown sugar and vanilla extract and mix with a fork or whisk until well combined.
- Next stir in flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.
- Spray a microwave safe mug with non-stick cooking spray, then pour the batter into the mug.
- Sprinkle a few more chocolate chips and chopped walnuts onto the batter if you’d like.
- Place the mug in the microwave and microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds, or until the batter is no longer wet on top. Be careful not to cook for too long, or the cake will get tough.
- Remove the mug from the microwave and let cool for a few minutes. Top with your favorite nut or seed butter, let cool, and dig in!
Notes
Reminder: Use an extra ripe banana so that the mug cake is nice and sweet.
A note on cook time: Be sure not to overcook the mug cake or it can get dense. It will be done when the top doesn't look "wet" anymore.
