4 Ingredient Banana Mug Muffin
This single serving banana oat muffin cooks in the microwave! It is so easy to make and comes out fluffy and soft.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (23 grams) oat flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp (45 grams) mashed banana , (less than ½ of a large banana, measure after banana is mashed)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, add oat flour and baking powder. Use a small whisk to stir until evenly combined.
- Add in banana and maple syrup and whisk until batter is smooth. If adding any mix-ins, stir them in at this time.
- Microwave your muffin at full power for about 1 minute 20 seconds or until muffin has pulled away from the sides and is cooked. I used an 1100 watt microwave, You may need to adjust cooking time depending on your microwave. Let muffin cool a few minutes before eating.
Notes
- This muffin is the size of a regular (not oversized) muffin, so your muffin will only rise about halfway in most mugs. I plated the muffin in a smaller mug after cooking it so it is easier to see. If you want it to rise to the top, use a ramekin.
- Make sure to mash your banana until no chunks remain before adding it to the batter. See post for more mashing banana tips. The 3 tbsp is measured after the banana has been mashed.
- This muffin is not overly sweet. If you want something sweeter, you can add some sugar to the batter. Adding chocolate chips or fruit will also add sweetness to the muffin.
- I added chopped dark chocolate and a few quick oats on top for decoration but these are completely optional.
- To make your own oat flour, add rolled or quick oats to a blender and blend until the oats become very fine and resembles the texture of flour.
- All measurements are using US measurements.
