Ingredients

• 1 medium banana, mashed
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1 packet zero-calorie sweetener (optional, if you like it sweeter)
• 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (optional for a softer texture)

Instructions

1. In a microwave-safe mug, mash the banana until smooth.
2. Add the egg, cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Mix well until fully combined.
3. Stir in the zero-calorie sweetener and almond milk if using.

5. Let it cool for a minute before enjoying. You can eat it straight from the mug or transfer it onto a plate.

Notes & Tips

• Banana Ripeness: The riper the banana, the sweeter the mug cake will be.
• Texture Preference: If you prefer a more moist texture, add 1 tbsp of almond milk.
• Baking Alternative: If you prefer not to use a microwave, bake it in an oven-safe ramekin at 350°F (175°C) for about 10–12 minutes.
• Mix-ins: Feel free to add zero-point fruits like blueberries or strawberries for extra flavor.
• Serving Suggestion: Top with a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt, a drizzle of sugar-free syrup, or a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut flakes for extra flavor.

Q: Can I use egg whites instead of a whole egg?
A: Yes, you can substitute 2 egg whites for the whole egg if you prefer a lower-fat option.
