How to Make Banana Bread in a Coffee Cup for One
How to Make Banana Bread for One
Sometimes when I make banana bread, I’m the only one who eat it. So making banana bread for one is perfect. What’s even better is you can make it in a mug. Then microwave it and have it in less than 3 minutes.
Perfect for when you want to use those last few bananas. Eat it with a fork in the mug and you won’t have to share. And if you have a few raspberries, make them into bread too.
What Ingredients Are Needed?
flour
white sugar
egg
banana
softened butter
baking powder
nuts (optional)
How Big of a Coffee Cup Do I Need?
When making my banana bread, I used a 3 cup, coffee cup. I recommend you use at least a 2 cup mug as the bread does rise or less mix to make your bread.
Can I Add Nuts to the Banana Mug Bread?
Using nuts is optional. You do not need to use them. Andi if you do, walnuts and pecans are a great option.
Should I Mix it in a Bowl or Mug?
Use a bowl. The mug needs to have nonstick spray put on it. Mixing everything in the mug will cause the bread to stick to the cup.
Is Banana Bread in a Mug Healthier Than Traditional Banana Bread?
This recipe is similar to our full loaf version of bread. The difference is the portion.
Can I Add Things Into The Bread Mix?
You can add chocolate chips and nuts if you would like, about 2 Tablespoons. If you want chocolate banana bread, add 1 Tablespoon.
Why is my Mug Bread Rubbery or Dry?
It could be it was over cooked. Next time check the bread 30 seconds before time is up. We have 1100 Wattage microwave and it was cooked in 2 minutes 30 seconds.
