Special Note: Make sure you scoop up 2 tablespoons of already-mashed banana. The more overripe the banana, the easier it will be to whisk. Also, stay away from frozen bananas as they retain a great amount of water even after they are defrosted that will make the cake gummy.

Banana Mug Cake:

Ingredients:

  • 4 tbsp (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) fat-free milk
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp (30g) mashed overripe banana (about half of a large banana)

Topping & Decoration, optional

  • 1 tsp confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 banana chip

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in an oversized microwave-safe mug. Mix with a a small whisk until batter is smooth.
  2. Cook in microwave for about 1 minute. If cake is not done, heat an additional 15 seconds. Let cake cool a few minutes.
  3. If desired, sift the confectioners’ sugar on top of the cake and insert a banana chip for decoration. Cake is best consumed while still warm or within a few hours of being cooked.
