Book of Days Tales

As mentioned in previous posts, children’s day is different in different countries. First Friday in October is children’s day in Singapore. Here is a child friendly recipe from Singapore — mug cakes are always a good choice.

Ingredients

1 medium overly ripe banana, mashed (about 1/3 cup mashed)
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon honey or maple
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup whole wheat pastry flour, or all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼  tsp kosher salt
¼ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

 In a bowl, stir together the mashed bananas, butter, honey, egg, and vanilla until combined. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks.

Pour the batter into a (10-12 oz) microwave-safe mug. Microwave on full power for 1 minute and 35 seconds to 2 minutes – microwaves are incredibly various. Eat warm with a smear of butter and a drizzle of honey.
