Notes

Oven option: Pour the batter into a greased oven-safe ramekin and bake at 350F/175C for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out ‘just’ clean.

Variations

Enhance the batter. Add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to elevate the other ingredients.

Add sweetness. This cake relies solely on bananas for sweetness, so if you want it sweeter, add a sprinkle of sugar or sweetener.

Garnish the mug cake with a scoop of low calorie ice cream and fresh berries for a healthy, decadent treat.
