Instructions

Mash ripe banana and measure the exact amount called by the recipe by packing the mashed banana in a 1/4 cup.
In a mixing bowl, stir mashed bananas with all the remaining ingredients - except the chocolate chips.
Transfer the mug cake batter into a microwave-safe ramekin or mug.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the batter.
Microwave on high power (1000W) for about 90 seconds until the top is set.
Serve immediately plain or with a dollop of plant-based yogurt.

Equipment

Notes

Note 1: Equivalent to 1/2 small banana.

Note 2: You can use any plant-based milk, but soy milk contains more protein.

Note 3: I didn't try other flour. Almond flour won't firm up the mug cake. All-purpose flour could work, but the texture might be dense and gummy.

Note 4: This is the same as ground hemp seed. You can buy hemp seed powder from the store or ground hemp seeds at home in a coffee grinder.

Note 5: Any liquid sweetener can be used, like agave syrup, coconut nectar, or sugar-free alternatives.

Note 6: The nutrition panel is for a mug cake made with chocolate chips.

Storage: Don't store the leftovers for too long. After a few hours, microwaved baked goods get dense and don't taste as good.

Baking Option: Grease an oven-proof ramekin with oil. Add the cake batter and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked through.
