Eggless Banana Mug Cake Recipe

Are you in search of quick microwave desserts for one? Then, this banana mug cake is perfect for you. Over the following weeks or months, I plan to present at least one mug dessert recipe each month. A single-serving mug recipe that is fast and effortless.

On my other website, myactivekitchen.com, I published this mug apple crumble recipe, which is one of the most popular dishes on the blog. Besides its deliciousness, I believe one reason it is cherished is the ease of making it.

In fact, if you’re like me who can estimate the amounts of ingredients needed for a recipe, then you can whip up mug recipes without the necessity of measuring anything.

That being said, if you are just beginning, try to measure accurately as indicated by the recipe; this way, you’ll know or get a sense of what the dish should taste like for the next time you attempt it without any measurement.

Quick Tips Before You Begin

  • The power of your microwave will dictate how long the mug cake will take to cook. Additionally, the mug size could also influence the cooking duration. If you are using a tall mug like mine, it may take approximately 10 to 30 seconds longer than smaller mugs that are around 150ml in size.
  • So remember, not all microwaves and mugs are created equal. If, after microwaving for 45 seconds, it’s still moist, microwave for another 30 seconds until the cake is fully cooked.
  • I believe this point should have come first, make sure your mug is microwavable!
  • If you aren’t prepared to consume your banana cake right away, you can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a quick stir on the day of use and pop it in the microwave to cook.
  • To create a chocolate banana mug cake, incorporate ½ tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa into this recipe and you’re set. You can also toss in a few chocolate chips too.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter for a nutty flavor.

Ingredients

Ripe banana

All-purpose flour

How to Make Banana Mug Cake

This is a 5-minute recipe, so let’s get started. I recommend gathering all the components first to avoid missing anything. Also, I used just 1 tablespoon, a mug, and a fork for this recipe. I trust you can manage that too, so let’s commence.

To a mug, add one small banana or half of a larger one and mash it until nearly smooth. To the same mug, incorporate milk, vegetable oil, and mix to combine. Then add brown sugar and stir to blend.

To the wet ingredients, mix in 4 tablespoons of plain flour, salt, baking soda, and mixed spices gently until completely blended. Finally, crumble some walnuts and gently fold them into the mixture.

Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes or until the cake is no longer wet.

How to Serve Banana Mug Cake

You’ll enjoy this recipe best while it’s still warm, either on its own or accompanied by fresh banana slices, ice cream, or cream cheese frosting.

How to Store

Regrettably, this is a one-serving recipe and should be eaten on the day it’s prepared. It’s best consumed while warm.
