Ingredients
-
1 medium very ripe banana
-
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon white sugar
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon baking powder
-
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
-
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

1 tablespoon milk

⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup all-purpose flour

Description
-
Combine ripe banana, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, melted butter, milk, and vanilla in a mixing bowl; use a potato masher to mash the mixture into a smooth puree. Add flour and mix until just combined. Stir in walnuts and chocolate chips until evenly mixed.
-
Transfer batter evenly into two lightly buttered coffee mugs or cups. Tap a few times on a towel to settle everything down and ensure there are no air pockets.
-
Microwave cups, one at a time, until a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 minute.
-
Let cool before serving.

Optional: Garnish each with banana slices and dust with sugar. Brulee the tops with a blowtorch.
