Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ medium very ripe banana (mashed)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
Instructions
- Mash the banana: In a small bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly until smooth to create a natural sweetness and moisture base for the cake.
- Combine ingredients: In a microwave-safe ramekin or mug, mix the mashed banana, large egg, and coconut flour together until fully combined into a smooth batter.
- Microwave the cake: Cook the mixture on high power in your microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. Check for doneness by ensuring the cake has set and is no longer wet on top. Cooking time varies by microwave wattage.
- Cool and serve: Carefully remove the ramekin or mug from the microwave using oven mitts or a towel. Place it on a cooling rack and allow the cake to cool slightly before eating. Enjoy directly from the mug or transfer to a plate.
Notes
- Use a very ripe banana for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
- Cooking time may need adjustment depending on your microwave’s wattage—start with 1 minute and add additional time in 15-second increments if needed.
- The cake is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and warmed slightly before eating.
- You can add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor if desired.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low in sugar.
