Ingredients:

1 banana
120g
2 egg whites
80g
3 tbsp oats
30g
2 tsp baking powder
10g
1 tbsp vanilla extract
13g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Peel the banana and place it in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl or mug.
- Measure out the egg whites, oats, baking powder, and vanilla extract.
2. Mash the Banana:
- Use a fork or a small potato masher to mash the banana until it becomes a smooth paste.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- Add the egg whites to the mashed banana and stir well until fully combined.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
4. Add Dry Ingredients:
- Add the oats and baking powder to the banana mixture.
- Stir well until everything is combined and there are no lumps of baking powder.
5. Prepare for Cooking:
- Make sure the mixture is in a microwave-safe bowl or mug. Smooth the top of the mixture with the back of a spoon for even cooking.
6. Microwave the Cake:
- Place the bowl or mug in the microwave.
- Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on your microwave's power. Start with 2 minutes and then check if it's done; if not, continue in 30-second increments until the cake is fully cooked. The cake is done when it has risen, is firm to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let Cool Slightly:
- Carefully remove the bowl or mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the cake cool for a minute or two before eating.
8. Optional Toppings:
- You can top your cake with a dollop of yogurt, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
- Enjoy your Deliciously Easy Microwave Vanilla Banana Oat Cake warm!

Tips:

- Make sure to use a ripe banana for the best sweetness and texture.

- Mix the ingredients well to ensure even cooking.

- For added flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a handful of nuts.

- Check the cake after one minute to ensure it doesn’t overcook. Microwave times can vary.

- Let the cake cool for a minute before serving to allow it to firm up slightly.
