Ingredients
Here are the simple ingredients to bake a healthy vegan mug cake
Banana: Overripe banana is the key ingredient of this recipe. I have used the robust variety of banana. Bananas provide moisture and help bind the ingredients together.
Flour: I have used all-purpose flour for this recipe. You can also use whole wheat flour; however, the texture may not be the same.
Sweetener: Brown sugar is used for the sweetness. You can also use jaggery powder or granulated sugar. However, granulated sugar takes time to dissolve in the batter.
Oil: Use any vegetable oil in this recipe. Canola oil, or coconut oil are also good options.
Baking Powder: It will help your mug cake rise, so don't forget to add it.
Others: Chocolate chips, cinnamon powder, etc.
How to Prepare Banana Cake in Mug
Learn to make this easy and quick vegan mug cake (banana) by following the below instructions:
Take a ripe banana and peel it. Place it in a bowl and use a fork to mash it thoroughly until smooth and lump-free. The banana acts as a natural sweetener and adds moisture to the cake.
Add the oil and brown sugar to the mashed banana. Stir the mixture well until the sugar dissolves and everything combines into a smooth paste.
Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon powder into the banana mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps and the ingredients are well incorporated.
Fold in the chocolate chips for a delightful burst of sweetness in every bite. You can also use chopped dark chocolate as an alternative.
Grease a ramekin bowl or a microwave-safe mug lightly with oil or butter to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the prepared container, ensuring it fills about two-thirds of the way to allow room for the cake to rise.
Preheat the oven, then microwave the cup or bowl on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the batter is no longer moist on the surface.
Variations
This is a vegan banana mug cake recipe I have shared. If you are not a vegan, then instead of oil you can use butter and milk for this.
Top tips
- Avoid overcooking the mug cake, otherwise it will turn dry.
- Always mix the ingredients in a bowl first, then transfer the batter to the cup. This ensures even ingredient distribution.
