There are many variations of this and other “in a mug” recipes that are cooked in your microwave. I have tried brownies, chocolate cake and omelettes, to name a few. This one looked good too, so since I had all the ingredients on hand, decided to give it a try on one of our rare rainy mornings.
It’s pretty much pantry staples, a quick stir and 3 minutes in the microwave, so what’s not to like. I keep cut up ripe bananas in my freezer to use for smoothies, so that was easy too. This was a combination of a few recipes and tweaked to how I prefer. You can make changes easily, depending on what you like. I don’t care for chocolate in the morning, so I didn’t use chocolate chips, but used sliced almonds instead. Chopped pecans would be delicious too. The banana provides sweetness, but if you want more, add about 1 or 2 teaspoons of brown sugar.
Banana Bread in a Mug
Mash 1 ripe banana with a fork in a large microwave safe mug. Add 1 egg and mix well. Add 1 T milk, 1 tsp oil, 1 tsp cinnamon and 3 T flour.
At this point you customize with chocolate chips, nuts or chopped fruit. I used sliced almonds and sprinkled them on top, but you could also mix your additions into other ingredients.
Cook in microwave for 3 minutes.
Enjoy!
I think everything tastes better in a mug! These look positively delish. I would love one with my coffee this am. Thanks for the heads-up on the biotin. I just add that to my Amazon carts. Have a great week and stay healthy, Vicki!
