How to Make Banana Mug Cake

  1. Mash one ripe banana in a large mug until mostly smooth.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. 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.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. 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.
  6. Let cool slightly before enjoying! Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for an extra special treat.
