This Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread Mug Cake is a quick and cozy single-serve dessert that combines ripe banana, melty chocolate chunks, and a soft, moist crumb—all made in the microwave in just minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp chocolate chunks or chips

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, mash the banana until smooth.
  2. Stir in melted butter, milk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined.
  4. Fold in chocolate chunks, reserving a few for topping if desired.
  5. Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds, or until the cake is set but still slightly soft in the center.
  6. Let cool for 1–2 minutes before enjoying straight from the mug.

Notes

  • Microwave times may vary—start with 60 seconds and add more in 10-second increments as needed.
  • Add chopped nuts or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Use the ripest banana you have for the best sweetness and texture.
  • Best enjoyed warm straight from the microwave.
