It’s the perfect recipe for when you need that quick nutritious boost – after all it’s hard to beat the nutrient combination of bananas, nuts, milk and (possibly) eggs.

• 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

For the vegan version

1. Add the flour, maple syrup, baking soda, salt, milk, the oil, sliced banana, a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla and the hazelnuts into a mixing bowl. Blend well using a hand blender. Alternatively use a food processor, or even a fork can be used in a pinch. Make sure the banana gets crushed.
   
2. Use a tissue to wipe the olive oil around large mug and pour the dough in. Cook in the microwave for 1 minute and 40 seconds. Use none, some or all of the toppings and enjoy!

For the regular version

1. Using a bowl or large mug, melt the butter in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Then add the egg, sliced banana, flour, maple syrup, milk and baking powder. Give it a good whisk with a fork, hand blender or by using a food processor. Make sure the banana gets crushed.
2. Pop the mug or bowl into the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds. Take it out, turn it round and give it another 1 minute blast. Use none, some or all of the toppings and enjoy!

Tips for making the perfect Banana Mug Cake

1. Use a very large mug and don’t overfill
2. If the cake is leaning to one side, stop cooking, turn and continue cooking
3. It’s easiest to mix all the ingredients in a separate bowl
4. Cook shorter times rather than overcooking - an overcooked cake isn’t what you want - you can always give it another ten seconds when needed
