Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe banana, mashed (about 1/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon milk (any kind)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

- In a microwave-safe mug, thoroughly mash the ripe banana until smooth.

- Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Mix everything until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds. Cooking time varies by microwave strength. Watch it closely—it should be set on top but still a little moist inside.
- Let it cool for one minute before enjoying your warm mug cake.
Notes
- Ensure your banana is very ripe for the best sweetness and texture.
- If you like a gooier center, cook for less time (around 60 seconds).
