SmallWhiteFloof: This looks really delicious but I feel like if I have to get all of those ingredients out, I might as well go ahead and make an entire loaf.
kinnaq: Can I get a third party review? This seems like it would be that nasty result you get when you under-bake banana bread.
Noteful: [It’s pretty good and I eyeballed measurements ](https://i.imgur.com/2oz3SOV.jpg)
Look I ain’t no baking savant but I used: 2 frozen bananas mashed, 1.5 cups of flour, .75 cups of brown sugar, 1 egg. Would’ve used 2 eggs but only had 1 lol. Eyeballed everything else. Used half and half instead of that buttermilk.
Brahms23: Why is it that I get the impression that many of these recipes are sponsored by coconut oil manufacturers?

**Banana Bread in a Mug**
Makes 1 Serving
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 8 minutes
**Ingredients**
* 1 ripe banana, mashed
* 1 egg
* 1 Tablespoon buttermilk
* ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 Tablespoon melted coconut oil or other oil
* 3 Tablespoons flour
* 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
* ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Optional Toppings
* Whipped cream
* 1 Tablespoon toasted and chopped pecans
* Banana slices
* Powdered sugar
**Directions**
1. In a large, microwave-safe coffee mug, mash your ripe banana. Add the egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract, oil, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Mix to combine.
1. “Bake” it in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes. (You can stop and check for doneness at the 90-second or 2-minute mark.)
1. The banana bread will be very hot, so allow it to cool for a few minutes before eating it.
1. Top with whipped cream, pecans, and sliced banana, if desired.
YouBuyMeOrangeJuice: Ugh why buttermilk? And you don’t even need it, the recipe didn’t have baking soda.
I_LIKE_SEALS: what is with the craze of making food in a mug? When i see these I always think “why not make a bigger batch”, it’s not as messy, doesn’t require the microwave and is more adjustable in size..
girpgork: Just tried this and it came out awesome! Thanks for the great recipe
SamL214: No! Stop!

spencerg83: I want a GifRecipe where it’s 15 seconds of making the dish and another 45 seconds of just garnishes and decorations.
Otherwise, this looks tasty!
