Banana Bread Mug Cake
A single serving version of comforting banana bread. This cooks in the microwave in about 1 minute.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp lowfat milk, or milk substitute
- 1/2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
- 1/8 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp mashed banana, should be almost a puree-like consistency
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients into microwave-safe mug (that can hold at least 8 oz of liquid). Mix ingredients with a small whisk until batter is smooth.
- Cook in the microwave at full power for approximately 1 minute and 10 seconds. Let cake cool a few minutes before eating.
Notes
- My microwave is 1100 watts. If your microwave is significantly less or more powerful you may need to adjust your time or power accordingly.
- The cake will be the size of an unfrosted cupcake. You can cook it in a larger mug and replate in a smaller mug.
- Make sure you mash the banana long enough that it becomes puree-like. See photo in post for reference.
- The 2 tbsp banana should be measured after it is mashed. 2 tbsp of mashed banana is a little less than half a banana.
