Cinnamon banana mug cake FAQ:

How long do I microwave the mug cake?

Microwave the mug cake on high for about 2-3 minutes. Cooking time may vary based on your microwave's wattage, so keep an eye on it. The cake is ready when it has risen and feels firm to the touch.

What size mug should I use for this recipe?

Use a microwave-safe mug that is at least 12 oz in size. This will give the cake enough room to rise without overflowing during cooking.

Can I substitute the almond flour in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute almond flour with other gluten-free flours such as coconut flour or oat flour. However, the ratios may differ, so start with a smaller amount and adjust as needed for consistency.

How should I store leftover mug cake?

It’s best to enjoy the mug cake fresh, but if you have leftovers, cover it and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before eating.

What can I add to enhance the flavor of my mug cake?

Consider adding optional toppings such as a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of honey, or some chopped nuts. You can also add chocolate chips or dried fruits to the batter 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.
