I posted this on my Coupon Queen of Corning blog, but I also wanted to share with my readers here, because it is so awesome.
Have you ever bought those single serve microwaveable treats? I believe they are from Betty Crocker. Anyway, I thought I would share with you a recipe I got from my husband's grandmother. It makes one serving, so no risk of overeating, and it's very frugal!
1 coffee mug
4 tbl. flour|
2 tbl. sugar
2 tbl. baking cocoa
1 egg
3 tbl. milk
3 tbl. oil
3 tbl. chocolate chips (optional)
small splash of vanilla extract
Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips, if using, and vanilla and mix well again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 min. at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip onto a plate if desired.
This is called the most dangerous cake recipe in the world because we are only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
We have 2 overly ripe bananas. What do you do with brown bananas? Yep, it is time for some more banana bread!! YUMMY!! Making banana bread is pretty easy and very frugal. It takes about 5 minutes to prepare the batter and throw it in the oven. Then it's all about just waiting for it to bake. You can find a delicious banana bread recipe over at allrecipes.com if you don't already have one.
