Ingredients
- 1/2 medium banana (75g) the riper the better!
- 2 Tbsp almond milk (30g) or milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp oat flour (15g) or all purpose or gf flour
- 2 Tbsp protein powder (15g) or sub for more more flour
- 1 Tbsp granular sweetener of choice*
- 1/2 tsp baking powder + pinch of salt
- 1 Tbsp chocolate chips (15g)
Instructions
- Spray a mug or shallow dish with cooking spray.
- Add the banana to the mug and mash with a fork. Mix in the milk and vanilla. Then add the flour, protein powder, sweetener and baking powder and mix until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips (save a few for topping!)
- Microwave at 70% power for 1 minute to 1 minute and 15 seconds. I like to take mine out when it's still a little gooey at the top for best texture and to ensure I don't overcook it.
- Take out and let cool for a few minutes. Top with cool whip, sliced bananas, more chocolate chips, whatever sounds yummy and enjoy!
Notes
*Any granular sweetener works here! Sugar, coconut sugar, Truvia, Swerve, monk fruit, etc. Use your favorite! Note that macros were calculated using a zero-calorie sweetener.
