Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana (mashed)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar (or sweetener of choice)

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or melted butter)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons milk (or non-dairy alternative)

2 tablespoons chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions
 

In a microwave-safe mug, mash the ripe banana with a fork until it becomes smooth and creamy.

    Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt to the mug. Mix thoroughly until combined.

      Stir in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk. Ensure all ingredients are well mixed, creating a smooth batter.

        Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

          Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave's wattage, so start checking at 1 minute to avoid overcooking.

            Once done, the cake should be set but still moist in the center. If needed, microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds.

              Allow the mug cake to cool for a couple of minutes before digging in. Enjoy it warm, either as is or with a scoop of ice cream on top!
