1 In a small bowl mash the banana with a fork until pulp-like.
2 Add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
3 Add the sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, a pinch of salt, and dark chocolate, and stir to combine. Do not overmix the batter—just make sure no dry pockets of flour are visible.
4 Transfer the batter to a large microwave-safe mug that holds at least 12 ounces, and bake for 1 minute 30 seconds. Then, microwave in 10-second intervals until the cake is cooked through. The top will be sticky, but not wet, and the cake will rise quite a bit. I used a 1000-watt microwave. You may need to adjust the cooking time based on your microwave.
5 Serve the banana bread while still warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Store leftovers in the fridge, tightly covered with plastic wrap for up to 2 days. Warm it for 10 seconds in the microwave before serving. Did you love the recipe? Leave us stars below!
