Description

This Healthy Oatmeal Banana Mug Cake is a quick and nutritious single-serving dessert or snack, perfect for busy mornings or a healthy treat. Made with ripe bananas, rolled oats, and a hint of cinnamon, this mug cake is blended to a smooth batter and cooked in the microwave for just 3 minutes, resulting in a moist, flavorful cake that’s optionally enhanced with chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 4 Tbsp milk of choice or egg whites*
  • 1 large very ripe banana
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Gather all ingredients except the chocolate chips to ensure an easy and smooth blending process.
  2. Blend the batter: Add the egg, milk, ripe banana, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and sea salt to a small blender like a Magic Bullet or NutriBullet. Blend until the mixture is completely combined and the oats are well blended into a smooth batter.
  3. Mix in chocolate chips: After blending, stir the chocolate chips into the batter evenly to distribute them throughout the cake.
  4. Pour into mug: Transfer the batter into a large microwave-safe mug to avoid overflow during cooking.
  5. Add extras: Optionally, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top and, if desired, drop a tablespoon of butter into the center of the batter for richness.
  6. Microwave cooking: Microwave the mug cake on high for 3 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through and firm to the touch.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Enjoy the mug cake as is or drizzle with honey or pure maple syrup and add a pat of butter for extra flavor and moisture.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and skip the butter.
  • Ensure the banana is very ripe for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Use a large microwave-safe mug to prevent the batter from overflowing.
  • You can double the recipe for two servings and use a regular-sized blender.
  • Adding chocolate chips is optional but adds a nice touch of indulgence.
