Ingredients

Makes one individual mug cake

• 1/2 ripe banana
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Instructions

1. In a standard-sized household mug, beat together the mashed banana and egg with a fork.
2. Add the milk, vanilla, maple syrup, and softened butter. Stir well.
3. Stir in the baking powder and flour, mixing just until the batter is well combined.
4. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir again. Add the chocolate chips and put the mug back into the microwave.
5. Microwave for an additional 2 minutes, until the cake is set. Be careful — mug cakes can be hot when they first come out! We recommend letting the cake sit for a minute or two to cool before digging in.
