Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 4 Tbsp milk of choice or egg whites*
- 1 large very ripe banana
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 1 Tbsp chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips to a small blender. I use my Magic Bullet, but a NutriBullet or any blender with a small carafe works. Note: If you’re making mug cakes for two people, double the recipe and use a regular sized blender.
- Blend until everything is completely combined and it appears as though all of the oats are well blended. Stir the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug. To be safe, use a large mug to avoid any overflow.
- If you’d like, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of the batter. If you’re adding a tablespoon of butter, drop it into the center of the batter now.
- Microwave for 3 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through.
- Enjoy the mug cake as is, or drizzle with a little honey or pure maple syrup and add a pat of butter.
Notes
- *Use regular milk, non-dairy milk or egg whites (if you keep a carton of egg whites on hand). My top two recommendations are either full-fat canned coconut milk or egg whites. The coconut milk makes the mug cake rich and dense, where the egg whites makes it fluffier and also adds more protein without adding fat.
- Optional Additions:1 Tbsp brown sugar or granulated sweetener of choice1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- An easy way to tell if the cake is fully cooked is by checking its internal temperature using a meat thermometer.
- meat thermometer
- Cake is fully cooked once it reaches a temperature of 190 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- To check the temperature, simply insert an instant read thermometer into the center of the mug cake and wait until the numbers stop moving to get an accurate read. If need be, microwave for 20 to 40 seconds longer until the cake is cooked through (it should be fully cooked after 3 minutes).
