Ingredients
1 large egg
1 medium banana, mashed (or 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce)
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp zero-calorie granulated sweetener (such as monk fruit or stevia)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (optional, if batter is too thick)
Instructions
1. Mash Banana: In a microwave-safe mug, mash the banana with a fork until smooth.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mug, whisking well with a fork until thoroughly combined.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in the unsweetened cocoa powder, zero-calorie sweetener, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until a smooth chocolate batter forms (add 1 tbsp almond milk if needed).
4. Microwave: Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds (time may vary depending on microwave wattage). Watch carefully so it doesn’t overflow.
5. Cool & Enjoy: Let it cool for 1–2 minutes before serving directly from the mug.
