Notes

  • Use a large mug or bowl to prevent overflow while microwaving.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract.
  • You can stir in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a spoonful of peanut butter before microwaving.
  • Adjust the sugar to your taste—this recipe leans toward naturally sweet from the banana.
  • Best enjoyed warm, right after cooking.
