This quick and easy chocolate banana mug cake is the perfect dessert for chocolate lovers!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 10-ounce ramekin with butter or cooking spray and place it on a baking sheet with raised edges to catch any spills.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

- Whisk in the melted butter, egg yolk, and vanilla until fully combined.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin.
