Chocolate Banana Mug Cakes

These were so great and easy to make on a weekday or weekend morning! They go perfect with coffee but are also delicious as dessert served warm with a scoop of ice cream!

INGREDIENTS

1 medium overly ripe banana, mashed (about 1/3 cup mashed)
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
1 tablespoon honey or maple
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour, or all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks

DIRECTIONS

  • In a bowl, stir together the mashed bananas, coconut oil, honey, egg, and vanilla until combined. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks. 

  • Pour the batter into a (10-12 ounce) microwave-safe mug. Microwave on full power for 1 minute and 35 seconds to 2 minutes (I always do 1 minute 35 seconds, but it's better to under "bake"). Eat warm with a smear of butter and a drizzle of honey.
