3 Ingredient Mug Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1 small ripe banana

  • 1 egg

  • 2 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder

How to:

  1. Add banana to a large mug and mash until mostly broken down.

  2. Mix in egg and cocoa powder and stir until everything is fully combined into a batter-like consistency.

  3. Microwave for 60-75 seconds. Batter should look cooked through and have a cakey texture.

  4. Add your favorite toppings!! (Mine are peanut butter and chocolate chips!!)

*Note: use a large mug because the cake will puff up when it cooks and you don’t want it to spill over!

*Note: the riper the banana, the sweeter the cake!
