Have you ever tried a microwave mug cake? No? Well, let me tell you, you’re missing out. Mug cakes are single-serving desserts that kids and adults love to make and eat! Why? Because they are SO easy and quick to make; you don’t even need to turn on the oven.
Just whip up the ingredients right in your coffee mug and place the mug into your microwave. Minutes later, your mug cake is fully-cooked, hot, and ready to devour! Believe me, your sweet tooth will thank you!

We are addicted to desserts in a mug at our house. My favorite is the delicious chocolate lava mug cake, and my husband adores the cinnamon roll cake in a mug.
All mug cakes are ready in less than five minutes and each person can have the type or flavor of cake they want.
Let me show you just how quickly these microwave mug cakes come together!
HOW TO MAKE BANANA NUT MUG CAKE

Ingredients:
- 1 small-medium banana
- 1 T vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 T milk
- 4 T brown sugar
- 4 T all-purpose flour
- 1 T chopped pecans
- 1/4 t baking powder
- 1/4 t cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 2 T whipped cream for topping
Supplies:
- microwave
- coffee mug
- fork

Instructions:
Take all of the banana, except for a few slices which you will reserve for the topping, and place it in the bottom of the coffee mug. Use the fork to mash the banana.
Once mashed, add in the egg and whisk with the fork until well combined.
Next, add the milk and oil and combine well.
Then, add the sugar, flour, baking powder salt, and cinnamon. Whisk with the fork until well combined.

Stir in the pecans. (Or not, if you’re not “nuts” about them!)
Pop the cup into an 800-watt microwave for 3 minutes. (Adjust for more or less cooking time according to your microwave wattage.)
When it is done, let it cool.

Once cool, top it with the whipped cream, the “reserved” banana slices, and a few chopped pecans, if you want.
You can even sprinkle some cinnamon on top if you like.

It’s no surprise that our 14-year-old, whose favorite food is bananas, loved this microwave cake!
Mug cakes really are the perfect dessert for a busy weeknight or when you’re the only person in your family who wants dessert.
