Mug Banana Bread

[Trish]

    Mug Banana Bread

    3 T. + 1 t. all-purpose flour
    1 packet stevia (or other sweetener of your choice equivalent to 2 t. sugar)
    2 T. brown sugar
    1/8 tsp. salt
    1/8 tsp. baking powder
    1/8 tsp. baking soda
    1 egg
    1/4  t. vanilla extract
    1 T. vegetable oil
    1 T. lowfat milk
    half a banana, mashed
    cinnamon, for sprinkling (optional)


In a large microwaveable mug lightly misted with non-stick spray, blend flour, sugars, salt, baking powder & baking soda. Add egg & mix until all the dry ingredients are incorporated. Stir in vanilla, oil & milk, then mashed banana.  Microwave 1-1/2 minutes to 3 minutes, depending on your microwave.

*You can stop it & peek in the door at 90 seconds to check if its done - it will probably rise over the top of the mug as it's heating, & if it's still runny it's not done yet.  But be careful not to overcook!  I have a pretty bad microwave, and mine took about 2 1/2 minutes.

I made a chocolate mug cake that I really didn't like.  I would help if I liked chocolate.

This looks better, I think I'll try it.

It came out pretty well.  I put cherry pie filling and whipped cream on top.

Thanks for the recipe Trish.

I haven't cooked much in recent years, but I'm enjoying these suggestions.  I think I'm ready for something savory and more challenging.

It's nice not having to store a bunch of leftovers in the freezer.

I know or even eat the same thing 3 days in a row just to get rid of it.
