When a chocolate craving strikes, these banana cocoa mug cakes are the answer: a fluffy, rich single-serve cake made from just a banana, an egg and cocoa, cooked in the microwave in four minutes. Layered with creamy Greek yogurt and fresh strawberries, it tastes like a treat and eats like a smart choice.
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Sweetener and salt to taste
- 10 g cocoa powder
- 50 g strawberries
- 110 g Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Blend the banana, egg, baking powder, sweetener, and cocoa until smooth.
- Pour into greased molds (add berries or nuts if you like) and microwave each 4 minutes.
- Spread with Greek yogurt — make two layers, one sweetened plain and one with cocoa.
Tips
- Use a ripe, spotty banana — it blends smoother and tastes sweeter.
- Do not overfill the molds; the cakes rise quickly in the microwave.
- Sweeten the yogurt layer to taste, and add berries or chopped nuts between the layers.
