Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana, mashed until smooth

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 tablespoon milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/8 teaspoon baking powder

A pinch of salt

2 tablespoons semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Begin by taking a microwave-safe mug and adding the ripe banana. Use a fork to mash the banana thoroughly until it reaches a smooth consistency.

    To the mashed banana, pour in the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture well until all the wet ingredients are combined.

      In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

        Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients within the mug. Stir gently until there are no visible flour pockets remaining, creating a smooth batter.

          Carefully fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for a chocolatey burst in every bite.

            Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Keep in mind that microwave cooking times may vary; watch closely to avoid overcooking.

              After microwaving, allow the mug cake to cool for 1 to 2 minutes. For an extra indulgent treat, top it off with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream before digging in.
