Paleo Banana Bread Mug Cake
Description
This recipe for Paleo Banana Bread Mug Cake combines mashed ripe banana with beaten egg, coconut milk (or almond milk), and a sweetener such as maple syrup or honey. Coconut flour, or almond flour as a variation, is added along with baking powder, a pinch of salt, and optional cinnamon and chopped nuts for flavor and texture. The batter is mixed thoroughly in a microwave-safe mug.
Microwaving it on high for 2 to 3 minutes cooks the batter into a small, dense cake reminiscent of banana bread. The texture is moist from the banana and milk, and the coconut or almond flour provides structure without gluten. Allowing the mug cake to cool slightly before eating improves eating experience.
The recipe can be adjusted by changing flour type or sweetener level based on taste preferences or dietary needs.
