Ingredients for Your Vegan Mug Cake:
- 1/4 cup oat flour (or rolled oats ground into flour)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- A pinch of salt
- 1 small mashed ripe banana (like a Cavendish banana)
- 2–3 tablespoons water (or your favorite plant-based milk)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for a fluffier texture)
How to Make a Vegan Mug Cake (Bain-Marie Method):
- In your mug, whisk together the dry ingredients: oat flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir in the mashed banana until well combined.
- Add the liquid (water or plant-based milk) and mix well. If you like a lighter, fluffier cake, fold in the baking powder now.
- Place the mug in a bain-marie (a water bath). To do this, place the mug inside a small saucepan filled with about an inch of simmering water. Cover the saucepan with a lid and cook on medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until set. Let it cool slightly and enjoy!
