Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana, fully mashed

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/8 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 tablespoons milk (you can use dairy or any non-dairy alternative)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil for added flavor)

2 tablespoons chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Start by taking a microwave-safe mug and mashing the ripe banana with a fork until it reaches a smooth consistency. Make sure there are no large chunks remaining.

    To the mug containing the mashed banana, add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well combined with the banana.

      Next, pour in the milk, vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil), and the vanilla extract. Mix everything together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring that all ingredients are fully incorporated.

        Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for a delicious chocolatey experience in every bite.

          Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Keep a close eye on it while it cooks; if the center appears slightly wet, add an additional 10 to 15 seconds of cooking time, but be careful not to overcook.

            Once done, remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!) and let it cool for a few minutes to avoid burning your mouth when you indulge.

              Optional: Elevate your dessert by topping it with a dollop of whipped cream, slices of extra banana, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra indulgent treat. Enjoy your delightful mug cake!
