DESCRIPTION:
The image shows single-serving portions of banana oatmeal mug cake. This is a no-flour, no-sugar, gluten-free dessert or breakfast option. It’s quick, healthy, and perfect for a guilt-free treat. Key ingredients include ripe bananas, oats, and natural flavorings.
INGREDIENTS (per serving):
- 1 ripe banana
- 3 tablespoons rolled oats
- 1 egg (or 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water for vegan option)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon nut butter or chocolate chips (optional)
- A pinch of salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Mash the banana in a microwave-safe mug until smooth.
- Add the egg (or flax mixture), oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
- Stir in optional add-ins like chocolate chips or nut butter.
- Microwave on high for 1–2 minutes, or until the cake has set.
- Let it cool for a minute, then enjoy straight from the mug.
TIPS:
- For extra fluffiness, separate the egg white, whip it, and fold it in gently.
- Use a very ripe banana for natural sweetness.
- If the cake is too wet, add 1 more tablespoon of oats.
- Sprinkle some nuts, seeds, or berries on top for added texture.
