Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust based on banana ripeness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Add-ins

  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana: In a microwave-safe mug, mash one ripe banana thoroughly until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana, stirring gently until combined into a smooth mixture.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder making sure everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Mix dry into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture and stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  5. Add chocolate chunks: Fold in the chocolate chunks, allowing them to distribute evenly through the batter for melty goodness in every bite.
  6. Microwave and enjoy: Microwave the mug on high for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s power, until the cake has risen and feels set to the touch.

Notes

  • Use a ripe banana: The riper, the better to amplify natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Measure flour correctly: Spoon and level the flour for accurate measurement and avoid dry, dense results.
  • Don’t overcook: Start with less time and add 15-second increments to avoid a rubbery cake.
  • Quality chocolate: Use good quality chocolate chunks or chips for the best gooey melt.
  • Mix gently: Overmixing can make the texture tough; stir just until combined.
