Ingredients
  

  • 1 banana, very ripe
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, or sweetener of choice
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil, or any neutral oil
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons walnuts, crushed or chopped
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons chocolate chips optional
For Dusting

Equipment

  • 10-ounce ramekin

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
  2. Peel and mash the banana in a bowl. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sugar. Mix well.
  3. Add the oil, milk, flour, and baking soda, and mix. Optionally, stir in some crushed walnuts or chocolate chips.
  4. Spray and line a 10-ounce ramekin with parchment paper. Pour in the batter and tap to distribute evenly.
