Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

• 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
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)
• 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (Optional)
• 6 slices banana
• 1 tablespoon white sugar, or to taste

Directions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Microwave cups, one at a time, until a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 minute.
4. Let cool before serving.
5. Optional: Garnish each with banana slices and dust with sugar. Brulee the tops with a blowtorch.
