Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

Mash the banana with a fork. You'll need about 1/2 a banana - save the rest to slice and put on top or pop the banana into the freezer to make smoothies!
Don't overmix the batter - it will be lumpy from the banana, so don't worry about the lumps!
The cake must rise while cooking if you want a light and fluffy cake, so make sure to butter the inside of the mug, so the cake doesn't stick.
You can use dark chocolate, white chocolate, or whatever chocolate chips you have on hand.
