Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure banana bread is one of those treats that can and should be enjoyed year round. But making a full loaf can take a lot of time and energy. As an impatient person, I just don’t have time for that! Enter: this 5-minute paleo banana bread mug muffin. Not only is it quick to make, but it’s also grain- and gluten-free, plus sweetened mostly by ripe banana.
What is a mug muffin?
Well, as the name implies, it’s a muffin you make in a mug, duh! Where and when the mug muffin originated I have no idea, but I’m sure glad someone had the creativity to think it up.
Mug muffins are considered single-serve portions, so you don’t have to share! Plus, they’re portable, and make portion control a breeze.
How ripe should the banana be?
Whenever making baking goods with bananas, the riper the better. The riper the banana, the sweeter the banana. Plus, it’ll mash easily! And don’t fear the brown bananas. Brown bananas are perfect for baking, not trash-worthy.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Coconut flour
Extra-ripe banana
Egg white
No-sugar-added peanut butter
Pure maple syrup or honey
Coconut oil
Almond milk
Vanilla
Cinnamon
Baking powder
Let’s get baking! Or should I say, microwaving? Give this 5-Minute Paleo Banana Bread Mug Muffin a try. Top with extra banana, nut butter, and/or cinnamon if you’re feeling crazy!
