A single serving of banana bread with blueberries, made with oat flour and maple syrup in the microwave.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 medium ripe banana (3 oz/80 g)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons oat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons blueberries fresh or frozen

Directions

  • Mash the banana in a microwave-safe mug.
  • Stir in the oil, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  • Stir in the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, then fold in the blueberries.
  • Microwave 45 to 55 seconds, until the top feels firm. Don't overcook it.
  • Eat it warm.

Notes

Times are for a 1,200-watt microwave; add a few seconds if yours is weaker. To pack it as a mug mix, put the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a small bag and write the wet ingredients on the label. Leftovers keep airtight at room temperature for up to 2 days.
