For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of olive oil. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, spiced twist. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra-special treat.

Step
2 mins
Add the egg to the mug and whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. (1 minute)
03
Step

Stir in the olive oil, milk, and mashed banana until everything is evenly incorporated. Ensure there are no pockets of dry flour remaining. (2 minutes)

Step
