Ingredients
  

1 medium ripe banana, mashed

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1/8 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil for a richer flavor)

2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips

A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional, for added warmth)

Instructions
 

Prep the Banana: In a microwave-safe mug, add the peeled banana. Using a fork, mash it thoroughly until you achieve a smooth consistency, ensuring no lumps remain.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: To the mashed banana, add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon. Stir well until all dry ingredients are evenly incorporated into the banana.

      Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and vegetable oil. Mix until the batter is smooth and uniform, ensuring no dry flour is left at the bottom of the mug.

        Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter for a delightful chocolate experience in every bite.

          Microwave the Cake: Place the mug in the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds. The cake is ready when it has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

            Cool and Serve: Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two. For an indulgent treat, you can top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!

                Presentation Tips: Consider enjoying the mug cake straight from the mug for a cozy feel, or transfer it to a small plate and garnish with extra chocolate chips and a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
