Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the Mug

Choose a large microwave-safe mug (12-16 oz capacity) and lightly grease the inside with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.

2
Melt the Butter

Place butter in the mug and microwave for 15-20 seconds until melted.

3
Mash the Banana

Peel the banana and place in a separate small bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth with few lumps.

4
Add Wet Ingredients

Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the melted butter in the mug and whisk with a fork until well combined.

5
Add Mashed Banana

Add the mashed banana to the mug and stir to combine with the wet ingredients.

6
Add Dry Ingredients

Add flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the mug.

7
Mix the Batter

Stir all ingredients together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

8
Add Mix-ins

Gently fold in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.

9
Level the Surface

Tap the mug gently on the counter to level the batter and remove any large air bubbles.

10
Microwave

Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60-90 seconds. Start with 60 seconds, then check for doneness - the cake should be set but still slightly moist on top.

11
Check Doneness

Insert a toothpick into the center - it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.

12
Rest

Let the mugcake rest for 1 minute before eating to complete the cooking process and cool slightly.

13
Serve

Enjoy directly from the mug while warm.
