Ingredients
▢2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
▢1 tsp Truvia baking blend
▢Pinch of salt
▢1 large egg
▢½ cup mashed over-ripe banana
Instructions
Gather and prepare all ingredients. Spray the inside of the mug with nonstick spray.
Add cocoa powder, sweetener, salt, egg, and mashed banana to a mug and blend with a fork until thoroughly combined, smoothing out any lumps.
Microwave on HIGH powder for 60 seconds. Check if the cake is puffy and set in the center. If not, microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds more, or until the cake is set in the center.
Allow to cool. Eat directly from the mug or remove to a small plate.
Recipe Notes
A very soft, over-ripe medium banana covered with brown spots will yield about ½ cup mashed. Be sure to thoroughly mash the banana until it’s almost liquid before measuring ½ cup.
Turn this into a chocolate chip cake by adding 1 – 2 teaspoons mini semisweet chocolate chips before microwaving. Be sure to add 1 to 2 SmartPoints with this addition.
