From fun new flavors like my Rainbow Mug Cake to classic comforts like a 1 minute Red Velvet Mug Cake, I have you covered. The best part is that all of these desserts are made in 1 minute in your trusty microwave.
This recipe might sound too good to be true. It’s made with just 5 simple ingredients but this 1 Minute Chocolate and Banana High-Protein Mug Cake is irresistible! On top of this mug cake’s super chocolatey flavor and moist texture it’s actually healthy as the base of the cake is just mashed banana and egg. When you add banana, peanut butter and cocoa, it’s like something I might put in my morning smoothie but with just a few tweaks these ingredients are combine dinto a comforting baked good that requires no baking at all.

My 1 Minute Chocolate Banana Mug Cake is perfect for an afternoon snack or late night dessert. If you have a mug and a minute you can enjoy this Chocolate Banana Mug Cake. After one try you will be hooked!
