. Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mash and Mix
In a microwave-safe mug, mash the banana until smooth. Add cottage cheese and peanut butter, then mix well to combine.

Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients
Crack in the egg and stir until evenly incorporated. Add vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup if using.

Step 3: Incorporate the Dry Ingredients
Stir in oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a thick, smooth batter forms.

Step 4: Microwave to Perfection
Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s power. The cake should rise and set but remain moist inside.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Top with banana slices, an extra drizzle of peanut butter or honey, and enjoy warm straight from the mug.
