Banana Bread in a Mug

This moist, fluffy and sweet dessert will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth on a rainy fall day! It is a great way to make use of overripe bananas you have lying around at home, which are usually sweeter. Feel free to serve this dessert with some extra topping such as vegan vanilla ice cream, roasted nuts or sliced caramelized bananas. For a gluten free version of this recipe, the all purpose flour may be swapped out with gluten free flours at the same ratio; make sure to use gluten free chocolate as well.
