Description

This Single-Serve Banana Bread is the perfect solution for when you’re craving banana bread but don’t want to make a whole loaf. It’s soft, moist, and packed with banana flavor, and you can have it ready in just minutes using a microwave. Ideal for a quick snack or a sweet treat, this simple recipe is easily customizable with chocolate chips or nuts!


Ingredients

  • 1/2 ripe banana, mashed
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon melted butter (or coconut oil)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
  • Add the flour, maple syrup, baking powder, cinnamon, milk, vanilla extract, melted butter, and salt. Stir until just combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
  • Pour the batter into a greased ramekin or microwave-safe mug.
  • Microwave for 60-90 seconds, or until the banana bread is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool slightly before enjoying.

Notes

  • You can use honey instead of maple syrup for a different sweetness.
  • Feel free to swap in non-dairy milk for a dairy-free option.
