Ingredients
- ¼ cup mashed very ripe banana about 1 small banana
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons self-raising flour
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt

Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug (at least 250ml capacity), mix the mashed banana, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Stir in the self-raising flour, cinnamon, and salt until just combined. Mix through the chocolate chips, sprinkling a few on the top to finish.
- Cook on high (800W) for 60-90 seconds, or until the cake has risen and the top looks set but slightly soft in the centre. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave, so start with 60 seconds and add 10-second bursts as needed.
- Top with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream and enjoy immediately!
Notes
Flour: If you want to use plain flour (all purpose flour) instead of self-raising flour, you can just make sure to add ½ teaspoon baking powder.
