Banana cake recipe without milk

This recipe creates the perfect batter to ensure your bread wont get nuked by the microwave, using oil, with the addition of banana keeping it really moist and flavorful! Even though I am a huge chocoholic, I think this is one of my favorite treats! And because there is no milk or butter this bread can be made vegan!

Simply spray your mug with non-stick spray or skip this part and eat your bread straight from the mug. The more ripe and brown your banana is, the sweeter the bread will be! So don't toss those old spotted bananas on the counter!

Pour into mug and cook in the microwave on 50% power for 60 seconds at a time until done!

5 Minute Single-Serving Banana Bread
Yield: 1 mug-sized loaf (2/3 cup batter)

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup very ripe mashed banana (1 small banana)
• 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil*
• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons flour
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons chocolate chips or chopped nuts, optional

*May sub half or all of the oil with equal parts apple sauce, for a low fat alternative.
Directions

Spray a microwave safe mug with non-stick spray (or skip this step if you want to eat your bread straight form the mug). In the mug, stir together banana, sugar, oil and vanilla with a fork. Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and mix until combine. Stir in chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute. Cook at 50% power for an additional 30 seconds at a time, until toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. About 1 1/2-2 1/2 minutes total. Do not over cook or bread will come out dry and rubbery. Serve immediately.
