Instructions for Banana Mug Cake

Grease a small mug or 1-cup dish, and set aside. In a small bowl, combine all cake dry ingredients,

then add all cake liquid ingredients and stir. Transfer the cake batter to the prepared dish, then

spoon the streusel evenly on top. Either bake at 350F for 14 minutes or until a toothpick comes out

clean OR cook in the microwave until a toothpick comes out clean. (Microwave times will vary

depending on wattage.) If you don’t want to eat the cake directly from the mug or dish, allow it to

cool completely. Then run around the sides with a knife and it should pop right out! Eat plain or

topped with coconut butter.
