Instructions
- Mash the banana in a 12-14 oz. microwave safe mug. Be sure to mash the banana well so no clumps remain & if you want to go the extra mile, measure the banana out so you don't use too much banana. Too much will make it overly wet or gooey.
- Stir in the sugar, butter, milk and vanilla until mixed. You can just use the fork that you used to mash the banana!
- Then add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix just until combined.
- Stir well getting the bottoms and the sides to get any flour pockets, but try not to over mix.
- Then fold in chocolate chips.
- Microwave for 90 seconds, check for doneness and microwave in short bursts for another 20-45 seconds or until cake is set, it will have a slightly shiny top. It’s better to under bake a mug cake, so be careful not to over cook.
- Top with a more chocolate chips and a drizzle of peanut butter, or any of your favorite toppings. Cool for just 1-2 minutes then enjoy straight away. YUM!
Notes
- Storage: Mug cake is best enjoyed right away. But if for some reason you do have leftovers, you can store for up to 1-2 days; just cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate.
