Ingredients
  

1 medium ripe banana, mashed until smooth

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1/8 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons milk (dairy or almond)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil for a tropical twist)

2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips

A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional for warmth)

Instructions
 

Begin by placing the ripe banana in a microwave-safe mug. Using a fork, mash the banana thoroughly until it reaches a smooth consistency with no lumps.

    To the mashed banana, add in the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and an optional pinch of cinnamon. Stir the ingredients together until they are combined well, with no dry flour remaining.

      Next, pour in the milk and vegetable oil. Mix these wet ingredients into the batter until everything is well blended, making sure the mixture is smooth and lump-free.

        Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for a delicious chocolatey experience in every bite.

          Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds. The cake is ready when it has puffed up and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For best results, start with 1 minute and check for doneness.

            Once cooked, allow the mug cake to cool for a minute or two. For an extra indulgent treat, serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top!

                - Presentation Tips: Enjoy the mug cake directly from the mug for a cozy, rustic feel, or transfer it to a small plate and garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
