  • Total Time: 7 minutes
  • Yield: 1 mug cake 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed thoroughly
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats (quick oats work best for a smoother texture)
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine the mashed banana, oats, milk, honey (or maple syrup), and baking powder.
  2. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds, checking for doneness. If it’s not set in the middle, microwave in 15-second intervals until fully cooked.
  4. Allow to cool for a minute before serving.

Notes

  • Best enjoyed warm.
  • Top with sliced bananas or yogurt if desired.
  • Use overripe bananas for the best flavor.
