Instructions
- In a microwave-safe (large) coffee mug or medium-sized mason jar, melt the butter in the microwave for 20 seconds.
- To the mug, add the maple syrup and egg and whisk thoroughly. Add the mashed banana and whisk again until there are no large banana lumps.
- Add in the flour and baking soda and whisk again until there are no dry flour streaks. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Place the mug in the microwave and heat it up for 2 minutes on high. Check it after 2 minutes and and if it still looks wet and not caked enough, microwave it for another 30 seconds on high.
