This mug cake comes together in 8 minutes tops. Start with your dry ingredients. Once combined, stir in the wet ingredients until just combined. Now the cake is ready for “baking”. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, checking halfway through, and then let it sit to cool. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Combine the brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and a small splash of milk in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until bubbly and drizzle over the top of the cake. Garnish with a few slices of fresh banana, if you wish, and eat right away. Delish!
To make the Banana Mug Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
In a bowl or mug itself, mix together 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and a dash of salt.
Stir in 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1 tablespoon milk, 1 mashed banana, 1 beaten egg, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 3 minutes, checking halfway through. Remove and let sit to cool.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 ½ tablespoon butter, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a small splash of milk and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute until bubbly. You may need to stop a few times as the mixture will bubble up very quickly. Stir to combine completely.
Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake.
Garnish the banana mug cake with sliced bananas, if desired, and enjoy!
