Make the Batter

Add the oats and baking powder to a large microwave-safe mug and stir together. Add the egg and water and mix thoroughly. Mash the banana, then stir it into the batter along with the blueberries until everything is evenly distributed.

Microwave

Microwave on high until the cake rises and the center is set. Microwave wattages vary, so begin checking near the end of the cooking time. Avoid cooking substantially longer than necessary because the cake can become dry or rubbery. Serving Suggestions Allow the mug cake to cool briefly before eating. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon. Fresh blueberries, banana slices, Greek yogurt, chopped nuts, or nut butter also make excellent toppings.

Storage tips

This mug cake is best served immediately while warm. If necessary, cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day.

Tips

Use a large mug because the cake rises during cooking. A very ripe banana provides more natural sweetness. Don't overcook the cake. Frozen blueberries can be added without thawing. Grind the oats first if you prefer a finer cake texture.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes. Add them directly from frozen.

Can I leave out the honey?

Yes. The ripe banana already provides natural sweetness.

Can I use oat flour?

Yes. Use approximately the same weight of oat flour.

Why did my mug cake turn rubbery?

It was most likely microwaved too long. Stop cooking as soon as the center is set.
