1 banana, ripe, sliced
4 tbsp flour
1 tsp maple syrup (or honey or brown sugar)
2 tbsp milk (any kind works!)
½ tsp baking powder
1 tbsp oil

Topping ideas (optional)
Streusel, Raisins, nutella (naughty), peanut butter, walnuts,
almonds, coconut shavings, grated dark chocolate.
This mug cake is awesome with whipped cream or ice
cream, too! Whatever you fancy really – it’s also great
on its own!

Instructions

Use a piece of paper towel to wipe the olive oil around large
mug and pour the dough in. Put a ring of pachment in the
bottom for easy release.

For the vegan version Add the flour, maple syrup, baking soda, salt, milk,
the oil, sliced banana, a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla and the hazelnuts
into a mixing bowl. Blend well using a hand blender. Alternatively use a
food processor, or even a fork can be used in a pinch. Make sure the
banana gets crushed.

Cook in the microwave for 1 minute and 40 seconds. Use none, some or
all of the toppings and enjoy!

For the regular version
Using a bowl or large mug, melt the oil in the microwave for about 20
seconds. Then add the egg, sliced banana, flour, maple syrup, milk and
baking powder.

Give it a good whisk with a fork, hand blender or by using a food processor.
Make sure the banana gets crushed.
Pop the mug or bowl into the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds. Take it out,
turn it round and give it another 1 minute blast. Use none, some or all of the
toppings and enjoy!

Tips for making the perfect Banana Mug Cake
Use a very large mug and don’t overfill.

If the cake is leaning to one side, stop cooking, turn and continue cooking
It’s easiest to mix all the ingredients in a separate bowl
Cook shorter times rather than overcooking – an overcooked cake isn’t what
you want – you can always give it another ten seconds when needed
Recipe Notes

WHAT IF YOU DON’T HAVE A MICROWAVE: No problem! Preheat the

oven to 180°C/ 360°F. Then chuck in the mug for 20 minutes. Make sure
it’s oven safe, though.
