BANANA BREAD CHOCOLATE CHIP MUG CAKE
This recipe targets:
Paleo | Vegan | Blood-sugar balance
Banana and chocolate chips are one of the best combos, but most of those desserts send your blood-sugar on a rollercoaster. This mug cake option scored a 10/10 on my continuous glucose monitor, meaning that it’s delicious AND healthy!
Ingredient list
2 tablespoons of mashed ripe banana (about a half of a small banana!)
2 tablespoons of nut/seed butter (I like 1 tbsp of tahini and 1 tbsp peanut butter! but you can also use cashew butter, almond butter, sun-butter, etc.)
2 tablespoon of granulated sweetener (coconut sugar, monkfruit, etc. I use monkfruit for blood sugar balance!)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extra
4.5 tablespoons of fine almond flour (sub: 2.5 tablespoons coconut flour)
Sprinkle of sea salt
3/4 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
1 tablespoon of non-dairy milk (I use nutpods!)
1+ tablespoons of dark chocolate chips (I get mine from Good Sam foods!)
optional: 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

Steps
Step 1
Lightly coat a large mug, ramekin, or bowl, with oil (I spray mine with avocado oil). Mash up your banana — I usually like to use the back of a spoon or fork for this! After it’s mashed, add in your nut/seed butter of choice, granulated sweetener, and vanilla. Mix these ingredients up until they are all well incorporated.
Step 3
You can bake your mug cake two different ways, in the microwave or in the oven. Here’s how to do either:
MICROWAVE: Microwave for 60-80 seconds. Start with 60 seconds and see how it does. Keep in mind — it will continue baking inside the mug for a minute or two after taking it out!
OVEN: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for about 11 to 14 minutes.
Serve warm!
