Peanut Butter and Banana Cake in a Mug! (Less than 5 minutes!)
about 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (1/2 large mug)
2 to 3 tablespoons sugar
pinch salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon oil (I use canola oil)
1 tablespoon mashed banana
1 fat teaspoon peanut butter (I use crunchy)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon, or to taste
1. Add flour, sugar, salt and baking powder to mug. Mix.
2. Add water and oil. Mix. Mixture should be liquid-ish. You may need to adjust liquids. Add banana and peanut butter. Mix.
3. Add vanilla and cinnamon. Mix. Take your mug to a microwave for 3 minutes. The cake will have a pale color once the 3 minutes are over. Fact: don't get fooled if you think that the cake is not ready yet, it is ready!
Source of recipe: I randomly put stuff inside a mug and 5 minutes later = Kaboom!'
SO HOW'D IT GO?
yum!
This was awesome, basically eyeballed it all and it turned out great! used coconut oil and white chocolate peanut butter, it was great for a late night dessert ;)
this cake ,i was not real sure. i am glad i tried it! i thought it was really good and a quick fix snack. it did need more water,i added enough to make it like the consistancy of a mix and i made a mistake and added 2 tbs banana ,but not to worry ,turned out great! i absolutely loved it! thank you for a really great recipe,nutrishious too. :) it's a 5 star or more.
WOW!!!! I tried this cake in a mug. I didn't have all the ingredients (bananas) and I really wanted to add other ingredients (chocolate and maybe some nuts); but this cake is awesome. I really love baked goods, but don't have time to bake or money to buy baked goods on a regular basis. This works with whatever you have in the pantry. I will try it again when I get a hold of some chocolate. Easy clean-up and satisfies my fix for baked products. Thanks ;)b
Just made this - twice! sooo good for a late night snack... I'll be making this a lot
This has the potential to be my favorite thing ever, but I think I mucked it up and used too much flour. Ah well, lesson learned. I also added cocoa - was just in the mood for chocolate.
I used nisawong's version of this recipe, although I used twice as much peanut butter and banana :P and it turned out great!
I reminded me of carrot cake hehe!
A delight for a microwave cake!
This was awesome!! Although, I did have to tweek the recipe a bit...I used more water, peanut butter, and more banana. I think next time I will try adding some pecans and choc. chips!! This was so easy and I think I might have to make it again tonight.... :)
Hey everyone! Thanks for the reviews! I am glad you liked it! It s super easy to make and incredibly fast and convenient if you are craving a piece of cake :D
Also, sorry that the measurements could have been kind of off, it really does depend on how large/big your mug is. Everytime I make it I use a different kind of mug lol, and I only pour in random amounts of ingredients and it always works! I like eating it straight out of the microwave because I love hot cakes. Also, a good tip is to experiment... If you feel like making a chocolate cake then you should take off a bit of the flour and replace it with cocoa powder. You can totally get creative too, like adding vegan chocolate chips or even blueberries or coconut if you like!
:)
Mmmmmm midnight student dinner delight! This is really yummy. I tweeked it around a little and followed basically nisawong's measurements. I added chopped walnuts and used orange juice as the liquid. Next time I will use whole wheat flour (I was out) and see about replacing the oil with apple sauce. MMmmmm!!! I wish I hadn't made this now...it certainly will not be the last time!
