Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Choose a microwave-safe mug that is at least 12 oz to allow room for the cake to rise.
- In a small bowl or directly in the mug, mash the banana until smooth.
- Crack the egg into the mug. Whisk it together with the mashed banana until well combined.
- Add the almond flour, cinnamon, and a dash of salt to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined. Make sure there are no lumps.
- Place the mug in the microwave. Heat on high for about 2-3 minutes. Cooking time will vary based on the wattage of your microwave. The cake is done when it has risen and is firm to the touch.
- Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute before eating. You can enjoy it directly from the mug or, if you prefer, run a knife around the edge and transfer it to a plate.
- Consider adding a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
Tips:
- Make sure to mash the banana well to ensure even mixing and a smooth texture.
- For added sweetness, consider drizzling a bit of honey or maple syrup over the top before serving.
- If you don't have almond flour, you can substitute it with oat flour or regular flour, though the texture may vary slightly.
- For a richer flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a tablespoon of chocolate chips to the batter.
- Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the best texture and flavor; mug cakes tend to dry out quickly.
With just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes, you can enjoy a delicious Cinnamon Banana Mug Cake that’s perfectly portioned for one. This recipe is versatile and easy to customize, making it a great addition to your collection of quick and healthy treats. Enjoy this warm, comforting cake any time of day!
