Ingredients

1 ripe banana
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 tablespoons white whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
1 tablespoon almond milk
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
A pinch of salt

Instructions

Mash banana using a fork until smooth.
Add almond milk, egg, melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla. Stir well.
Add dry ingredients: spelt flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and stir until combined. Don’t overmix.
Fold in most chocolate chips.
Spray 2 microwave safe mugs with non stick spray (I use avocado oil). Pour the batter into the mugs and decorate the top with remaining chocolate chips.
Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 3 minutes, one mug at a time.

Notes

Almond milk can be replaced with any plant milk of choice (coconut, oat, soy) or regular dairy milk.
For fat I use refined coconut oil (has a more neutral flavor than extra virgin coconut oil) but any neutral tasting plant-based oil will work (avocado, light olive oil, sunflower). Melted butter is also an option.

If you like nuts in your banana bread, feel free to add some chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.

For a vegan version of this mug cake, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 teaspoon flax mixed with 3 tablespoons of water) and use vegan chocolate chips.
