Microwave Banana Mug Cake

Mug cakes are great because I can make one serving and avoid the temptation to binge! They’re also made with just a handful of basic ingredients and take only a few minutes to throw together. There are endless variations. This banana cake version is delicious. It’s gooey and a little pudding-like in texture. It satisfies my sweet tooth and is a special treat. In future posts, I plan to share recipes for chocolate, snickerdoodle, and peanut butter versions.

Have you tried microwave mug cakes before? Share in the comments.

Microwave Banana Mug Cake
Recipe from Love Swah, modified a little by me
 
Serves: 1
 
Ingredients
 
1 tablespoon butter, melted (or vegetable oil)
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 ripe banana, mashed
3 tablespoons plain flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
 
Instructions
 
Put butter into a large coffee mug and microwave for 10 seconds to melt. Whisk in egg and milk with a fork. Add mashed banana and continue stirring until well mixed. Add flour, sugar, and baking powder and stir with the fork until just combined. Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds on full power. Allow to sit in the microwave at least one minute after it is done cooking. Then let it cool a few minutes on the counter. The cake should rise but still be gooey in the middle.
