Ingredients

3tablespoonsall purpose flour
1/2teaspoonbaking powder
1tablespoonalmond milk
1tablespooncoconut oil
1tablespoonunsweetened desiccated coconut
1/4teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug (at least 10–12 oz size), mash the banana well with a fork until mostly smooth.
Stir in the almond milk, melted coconut oil and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
Add the sugar, flour and baking powder. Stir thoroughly to make sure there are no lumps of flour or baking powder hiding in the bottom.
Stir in the desiccated coconut.
Microwave the mug cake on high for 60–75 seconds. Start with 60 seconds and check—if the top looks undercooked, add another 10–15 seconds. Be careful not to overcook or it may become rubbery.
Let the mug cake sit for 1–2 minutes to cool slightly—it will continue to firm up as it rests. Optional: top with extra coconut, a banana slice, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
