BANANA BREAD CHOCOLATE CHIP MUG CAKE

BANANA BREAD CHOCOLATE CHIP MUG CAKE

Once you try this 90 second OOEY GOOEY MUG CAKE/COOKIE, you’ll have it on repeat! It’s basically just a delicious warm cookie, but with healthier ingredients to keep you and your blood-sugar balanced!

This recipe targets:

Paleo | Vegan | Blood-sugar balance

Banana and chocolate chips are one of the best combos, but most of those desserts send your blood-sugar on a rollercoaster. This mug cake option scored a 10/10 on my continuous glucose monitor, meaning that it’s delicious AND healthy!

Ingredient list

  • 2 tablespoons of mashed ripe banana (about a half of a small banana!)

  • 2 tablespoons of nut/seed butter (I like 1 tbsp of tahini and 1 tbsp peanut butter! but you can also use cashew butter, almond butter, sun-butter, etc.)

  • 2 tablespoon of granulated sweetener (coconut sugar, monkfruit, etc. I use monkfruit for blood sugar balance!)

  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extra

  • 4.5 tablespoons of fine almond flour (sub: 2.5 tablespoons coconut flour)

  • Sprinkle of sea salt

  • 3/4 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder

  • 1 tablespoon of non-dairy milk (I use nutpods!)

  • 1+ tablespoons of dark chocolate chips (I get mine from Good Sam foods!)

  • optional: 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

Steps

Step 1

Lightly coat a large mug, ramekin, or bowl, with oil (I spray mine with avocado oil). Mash up your banana — I usually like to use the back of a spoon or fork for this! After it’s mashed, add in your nut/seed butter of choice, granulated sweetener, and vanilla. Mix these ingredients up until they are all well incorporated.

Step 2

Add your flour, baking powder, sea salt, and/or cinnamon to your mixture, and stir in these added ingredients until your batter reaches cookie dough consistency. Then, add your 1 tablespoon of non-dairy milk and mix well! Now it’s time to throw in some chocolate chips!

Step 3

You can bake your mug cake two different ways, in the microwave or in the oven. Here’s how to do either:

MICROWAVE: Microwave for 60-80 seconds. Start with 60 seconds and see how it does. Keep in mind — it will continue baking inside the mug for a minute or two after taking it out!

OVEN: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for about 11 to 14 minutes.

Serve warm!
