Banana mug cake

Overripe bananas are the best choice for baking. Their starch has completely converted to sugar and their soft, mushy texture makes them easy to incorporate into a batter. When your bananas get too ripe to eat out of hand, peel and freeze them in zip lock bags for future mug cakes.

Overripe banana : 1/2
Egg : 1 large
