Happy Easter everyone! Sorry the blog has been a bit slow lately; I’ve been hard at work on the cookbook!
I am obsessed with mug muffins. I really feel like there is no end to what you can do with them. They also have healthy protein and fat from the egg, so they’re fairly nutritious. I whipped up this muffin this morning for breakfast and Mom was begging me for a bite while I was trying to photograph it. Go figure.
My sister Julia also loves mug muffins. She went through a stage when all she wanted for breakfast was chocolate mug cake. Yum…

Recipe Notes:
- Make sure to use a very ripe banana. The kind you wouldn’t eat straight but which is perfect for baking.
- You could probably change up this recipe a bit by using 1/4 cup applesauce in place of the banana, but I haven’t tried it yet.
- If you want to make this recipe nut-free, you could probably used some coconut butter in place of the almond butter.
- Add some cocoa powder if you want a banana chocolate muffin!

Would you be able to cook it in the oven?
Yes you should be able to; I’d try at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes to start and go from there.
Love this recipe! I added chocolate almond butter to the mixture then when it was done slathered chocolate almond butter and coconut butter on top. Yummy.
Ugh that melted butter…… It’s making my taste buds do their hungry dance! ah ah ah!
Gotta love melted butter 😉
