Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Peel banana and slice into a microwave-safe mug. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, egg, and melted butter. Stir until just combined; batter will be thick.

  3. Step 3

    Microwave on high for 90 seconds. Check with a toothpick—it should come out with moist crumbs, not wet.

  4. Step 4

    Let cool 1 minute. Eat from the mug with a spoon, or turn out onto a plate.

Tools you’ll need

  • microwave-safe mug (12 oz or larger)
