Banana Bread Mug Cake in a Minute

Recipe View 5 mins In a mixing bowl, combine the ripe banana, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the mixture into a smooth puree. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins Add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. (3 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Divide the batter evenly between two lightly buttered coffee mugs or microwave-safe cups. Tap each mug gently on a towel-covered surface to release any trapped air bubbles and ensure an even distribution of the batter. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Microwave one mug at a time on high power until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 1 minute per mug, but microwave wattages may vary, so start with 1 minute and add 10-second intervals as needed. (1-2 minutes per mug)

Recipe View 2 mins Allow the mug cake to cool slightly before serving. This will help it set and prevent burning your tongue! (2 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins Optional Garnish: Arrange banana slices on top of each mug cake. Sprinkle with additional white sugar, if desired. For a caramelized touch, use a kitchen torch to brûlée the sugar-topped banana slices until golden brown and bubbly. Be cautious when using a torch. (3 minutes)
