How to Make Banana Mug Cake
- Mash one ripe banana in a large mug until mostly smooth.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
- Let cool slightly before enjoying! Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for an extra special treat.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
