Good idea! I think I'd have to do a double batch so I didn't end up with 1/2 a leftover banana, though. Has anyone tried this with chocolate chips or other additions?

Mug recipes are so convenient and this sounds delicious! You could even add chocolate chips for an additional sweetness.

Living in a dorm, I love mug recipes. They're quick, easy to make, and keep the portions under control. Can't wait to add this one into the rotation.

Wow, I didn't know bread in the microwave was possible! I bake banana bread all of the time, to use up my bananas that have gone bad. This sounds like a great alternative when I don't have an hour to bake, but still want to enjoy some yummy homemade bread.

I love banana bread, but it takes almost an hour to bake ( This seems like a much easier option

I really liked this recipe. It's nice to have the option to make an individual serving instead of baking an entire loaf. The bread was a little dry at the top and more moist and cake-like at the bottom of the mug, but I think that's just what you have to deal with when

I loved every bite of this! SO much easier than making a whole loaf of banana bread, but the same great taste! With almonds added on top, it's perfect!
