Banana Bread
Banana Bread Mug Cake in a Minute
If you like banana bread, cakes that take only about a minute to cook, and things that sound too good to be true, you're really going to enjoy this! Garnish with sliced banana, a dusting of cocoa, or shaved chocolate if you prefer.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium very ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 6 slices banana
- 1 tablespoon white sugar, or to taste
Directions:
- Combine ripe banana, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, melted butter, milk, and vanilla in a mixing bowl; use a potato masher to mash the mixture into a smooth puree. Add flour and mix until just combined. Stir in walnuts and chocolate chips until evenly mixed.
- Transfer batter evenly into two lightly buttered coffee mugs or cups. Tap a few times on a towel to settle everything down and ensure there are no air pockets.
- Microwave cups, one at a time, until a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 minute.
- Let cool before serving.
- Optional: Garnish each with banana slices and dust with sugar. Brulee the tops with a blowtorch.
