Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons Coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • a pinch Sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons Unsweetened vanilla almond milk at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut oil melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 Egg yolk at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup Ripe banana slightly heaping, mashed (about 95 grams or 1 medium banana)

Equipment

  • Mug
  • Mixing spoon
  • Microwave
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients. Collect all the ingredients listed in your shopping guide to make the process smooth and efficient.
  2. Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients. In your mug, combine the coconut flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients. To the dry ingredients, add the unsweetened vanilla almond milk, honey, melted coconut oil, pure vanilla extract, and the egg yolk. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate the Banana. Fold in the mashed ripe banana, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Step 5: Microwave the Mug Cake. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. Check the cake; if it’s not fully set, continue to microwave in 10-15 second intervals until cooked through.
  6. Step 6: Let It Cool. Once cooked, let your mug cake cool for a minute or two before indulging. This will help the flavors to meld and make it easier to enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure your banana is ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Don’t over-mix the batter to avoid a dense texture.
  • Microwave times may vary, so keep an eye on the cake.
