Method
- 1.
Grease the mug — Grease a large microwave-safe mug thoroughly with the butter, coating the base and sides.
- 2.
Mix the wet ingredients — In the mug, mash the banana well, then whisk in the egg, vegetable oil and brown sugar until smooth.
- 3.
Fold in flour and walnuts — Stir in the flour, baking powder and cinnamon until just combined, then fold in the chopped walnuts.
- 4.
Microwave the mug bread — Microwave on high for 90 seconds, checking at the 60-second mark, until the bread has risen and a toothpick-free test (a knife) comes out clean.
- 5.
Cool and turn out the bread — Let the mug bread cool for a couple of minutes before running a knife around the edge and turning it out, or simply enjoy it warm straight from the mug.
