Ingredients
Scale
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chai spice blend
1/4 ripe banana, mashed
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and chai spice blend.
Add the mashed banana, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mug.
Stir everything together until just combined, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the mug. Do not overmix.
Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the bread is cooked through and springs back when lightly touched. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
Let it cool for a minute before enjoying directly from the mug.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg to the chai spice blend.
If you don’t have a chai spice blend, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and black pepper.
Ensure the banana is very ripe for the best flavor and texture.
