Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg free range
  • 1 banana
  • 3 tbsp almond flour
  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, mash up the banana with a fork (or I use a pastry cutter).
  • Crack the egg in this bowl and mix together. 
  • Add the almond flour and stir, and mix in half the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into a greased mug or small microwave-proof dish, or 2 small dishes.
  • Sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate chips.
  • Microwave on high for 90 seconds for shallower dishes and up to 2 1/2 minutes for a single deeper mug (like the brown one in the photos above!)
  • Stop at 90 seconds and see if it's done; if not, microwave at 30 second intervals (so it doesn't overflow).
  • Wait a minute or two before devouring this single serving banana bread (if you can!) because it will be pretty hot. 
  • Enjoy!!!
