Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mash the ½ banana extremely well in a large microwave-safe mug or small bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Mix in egg + sugar + milk.

  3. Step 3

    Mix in cocoa + flour + salt until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Fold in half the chocolate chips.

  5. Step 5

    Push the remaining chips into the center rather than mixing them in. That’s your molten middle.

  6. Step 6

    Microwave for 50 seconds.

  7. Step 7

    Check it. If the outside is set but the center is still soft, you’re done. Otherwise microwave another 10–15 seconds.

  8. Step 8

    Let it sit 60 seconds before eating. Don’t cook it until the entire center looks dry; then eat straight out of the bowl or mug and enjoy!
