1-Minute Banana Bread Mug Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 medium very ripe banana
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
  • 6 slices banana
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar, or to taste
Instructions
1
Combine the mashed banana, brown sugar, white sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients - baking powder, baking soda, and flour - using a gentle folding motion until just combined. Next, add the melted butter, milk, and a hint of vanilla to create a smooth batter.
2
Stir in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
3
Transfer the batter into two lightly greased coffee mugs or cups, making sure to fill them about 3/4 of the way full. Gently tap each mug against a towel to eliminate any air bubbles and ensure an even distribution of the batter.
4
Place one mug in the microwave at a time, cooking for approximately 1 minute or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Repeat the process with the second mug.
5
Allow the mini-bread puddings to cool before serving them warm or at room temperature.
6
To add a finishing touch, garnish each with sliced bananas and sprinkle a pinch of sugar over the top. For an added layer of caramelized flavor, use a blowtorch to caramelize the sugar on top.
