Quick Banana Bread Mug Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick Banana Bread Mug Cake.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and mashing a ripe banana with a potato masher until it’s nice and smooth—this is where the magic begins! Next, add in the brown sugar, white sugar, a pinch of salt, baking powder, baking soda, melted butter, milk, and a splash of vanilla extract.

2. Step 2

   Stir everything together until it’s well combined; you want those flavors to mingle beautifully.

3. Step 3

   Now, gently fold in the all-purpose flour, mixing just until everything is incorporated.

4. Step 4

   If you’re feeling adventurous, toss in some chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips for that delightful crunch and rich flavor.

5. Step 5

   Once your batter is ready, divide it evenly between two lightly buttered coffee mugs or cups.

6. Step 6

   Give each mug a gentle tap on a towel to release any air pockets and help the batter settle nicely.

7. Step 7

   Now comes the fun part—microwave each mug one at a time for about a minute.

8. Step 8

   Keep an eye on it, and when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, you know it’s done! Let your mug cakes cool for a moment before diving in.

9. Step 9

   For a special touch, garnish with fresh banana slices and a light dusting of sugar.

    If you have a blowtorch handy, why not brulee the tops for a deliciously caramelized finish? It’s a simple yet impressive way to elevate your treat.
