Satisfy your banana bread craving in 5 minutes or less with this easy and delicious Banana bread-in-a-mug recipe

Banana Bread In A Mug

Have you ever craved a slice of Banana Bread? If you make or buy one, who’s going to eat the rest? And let’s be honest, making it can take an hour or more. This easy Banana Bread In A Mug takes only 5 minutes from start to finish.

So go ahead, have my time, and make banana bread just for yourself. I promise I won’t tell.

Has this ever happened to you? You go to the supermarket and buy a beautiful bunch of bananas, day by day you’ve been eating them while one lonely banana just turns darker and darker.. to the point where you don’t want to eat him anymore.

That poor banana’s soul is filled with anger and sadness which makes his peel go from a glowing yellow color to spotty black.

I say, let’s rescue that poor banana from an inevitable trip to the trash and transform him into a beautiful nut bread that will be enjoyed. Mr. Banana is saved!!

I know, I know, I should stop writing the crazy stuff that goes into my head and focus on the task ahead.

What I meant to say, is that if you have a banana that’s about to go bad, use it in this recipe. The riper it is, the better the flavor it will have. Microwave cakes have a slightly different texture than regular baked cakes but they are as delicious as their counterpart.

In my opinion, they are a bit chewier. For this recipe, I added some walnuts to give it that authentic banana bread crunch that I crave.

Frankly, this mug concept is so awesome! I want to try tons of ideas without having to make giant cakes that may not come out the way I want them to.

My next experiment will be a chocolate chip cookie. Stay tuned for that. Meanwhile, I hope you can try this delicious Banana Bread In A Mug. If you do, please let me know how it comes out.
