You and I both know that you can’t just go from 1 to 10 on the scale of “don’t want banana bread” to “BANANA BREAD RIGHT NOW AND NO ONE GETS HURT” instantly because it takes TIME and PLANNING to make classic banana bread happen.

Good thing this is a banana bread in a MUG recipe.

That is right my internet friends. All the best parts of paleo banana bread and a coconut flour mug cake in ONE so that you can ask the question “who has two thumbs and can chose to eat banana bread RN, with ZERO prep?”

And answer: THIS GIRL (or guy.)

TBH, I am not really sure if you would ask that question but let’s not get hung up on the details.

The beauty of the banana bread mug cake is that it has bananas, which are fruit (duh), which makes it socially acceptable to make for breakfast. How-EV-er, it’s also a cake, which means you could eat it for dessert.

Basically, this microwave banana mug cake spans ALL spectrums off your food-eating-real-person life and has the ability to bring you SO much joy at any time of the day.

The joy of banana bread in 3 minutes really does know NO bounds my internet friends.

File 1 - Easy Banana Bread Mug Cake

In other news, unlike fancy-and-HARD-sounding paleo banana bread cake with chocolate almond ganache, mug cakes are the easiest, most-idiot proof cakes that you will ever make. Period. END OF STORY.

How to Make a Mug Cake

  1. Mix the dry ingredients for your mug cake in a small bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together all of your wet ingredients until smooth. Then, stir in your mashed banana until well mixed.
  3. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until well combined
  4. Transfer to a LARGE mug! The size of your mug is key to making the best mug cake because they rise A LOT. No tiny 8oz mugs cake.  I like short, wide mugs that are around 16oz
  5. Cook until the top has risen and set, and any wet spots are no bigger than dimes. This will vary based on the wattage of your microwave, so keep your eyes peeled!

Get it. Peeled? Like bananas.

Anyway.

I think you’re going to find it very aPEELing.
