Microwave Banana Cocoa Pudding Cake

WW Recipe of the Day: Gluten-Free Microwave Mug Banana Cocoa Pudding Cake

Satisfy those chocolate urges with this simple microwave pudding cake for one. Without any flour to help absorb the egg and banana, the texture of this cake reminds me a lot of bread pudding—semi-solid yet slightly mushy.

While it only takes minutes to prepare and cook, you could always thoroughly mix all the ingredients in the mug, then cover and refrigerate until you're ready to heat and enjoy.

Once cooled, enjoy your cake directly from the mug, or remove it to a small plate.

Recipe Notes, Substitutions & Variations

A very soft, over-ripe medium banana covered with brown spots will give you about ½ cup mashed. Be sure to thoroughly mash the banana with a fork until it's almost liquid before measuring out ½ cup.

Turn this into a chocolate chip cake by adding 1 - 2 teaspoons mini semisweet chocolate chips before microwaving. Be sure to add 1 to 2 SmartPoints with this addition.
