Quick and Healthy Banana Oat Mug Cake

In our fast-paced world, finding a quick and healthy treat can be a challenge. But what if you could whip up a delicious, nutritious mug cake in just a few minutes using ingredients you likely have on hand? Enter the Banana Oat Mug Cake—a delightful, wholesome dessert that's perfect for a quick snack or an after-dinner treat.

Ingredients:


  • 1 banana

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tablespoons of oats (20g)

  • A dash of cinnamon

  • 1 square of 100% cocoa chocolate


Instructions:


  • Mash the Banana: In a microwave-safe mug, mash the banana until smooth. This not only adds natural sweetness but also keeps the cake moist.


  • Sprinkle Cinnamon: Add a dash of cinnamon to the mixture. Cinnamon not only adds warmth and flavor but also brings its own health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties.


  • Incorporate the Oats: Stir in the 2 tablespoons of oats. Oats provide a lovely texture and are a great source of fiber, making this treat even healthier.


  • Chocolate Surprise: Push a square of 100% cocoa chocolate into the center of the mixture. As the cake cooks, the chocolate will melt, creating a gooey, rich center.


  • Add the Egg: Crack the egg into the mug and mix it well with the mashed banana. The egg acts as a binding agent, giving the cake structure.


  • Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 2-3 minutes. Cooking times can vary depending on your microwave, so keep an eye on it. The cake should rise and be set in the center.



Let the mug cake cool for a minute before digging in. You can enjoy it straight from the mug or turn it out onto a plate.

This Banana Oat Mug Cake is not only quick and easy but also packed with nutritious ingredients. The banana and oats provide a good dose of vitamins and fiber, while the egg adds protein. The 100% cocoa chocolate square offers a rich, indulgent touch without any added sugar. Plus, it's naturally sweetened with the banana, so there's no need for additional sweeteners.

Try this Banana Oat Mug Cake the next time you're in the mood for a quick, healthy treat. It's a delightful way to enjoy a little indulgence without compromising on nutrition.

Enjoy your mug cake!
