Vanilla Fudge Frosting
(Coconut Banana Butter Cream)

1/2 a very-ripe large banana 
1/4 cup melted coconut butter or homemade coconut butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon (omit for a whiter frosting)
1/16th tsp salt
optional: a few drops pure CLEAR vanilla extract.

1/4  tsp. lemon juice or vinegar will help keep the
banana white longer.
Shaved chocolate or sprinkles will make frosting look whiter.
You can add a tsp. of beet juice to make it pink or
Turmeric to make it yellow or cocoa or instant
espresso to make it tan.

Instructions

First, add coconut sugar or honey to your mug. Then, add
vanilla extract, and then flour. Crack an egg into the mug.
Add coconut oil. After putting in egg, and coconut oil,
Add chocolate chips. Adding the chocolate chips will make
a chocolate-flavored mug cake. But this is optional.
If you prefer a vanilla cake, you may instead
add 1/2 a tsp of vanilla extract.

Mix it all. Stir up the contents of the mug using a spoon. Stir
until all the ingredients are combined and the cacao or chips
are mixed in, (if making chocolate).

Bake the mug cake on full power, microwave for 50 seconds.
After 50 seconds, check if the cake is baked by
sticking a toothpick straight down into the center. The toothpick
should come out clean. If there are some cake residue on the
toothpick, put the mug back in the microwave and cook it in
30-second additions until done. Don’t overcook it. It shouldn’t
need to be cooked for longer than two minutes.

Let the cake sit. Microwaves often don’t spread heat as evenly
as ovens do. Let the cake sit for one or two minutes after baking,
giving time for the heat to spread throughout the mug. Do not
remove the mug from the microwave right away. Use a potholder
to lift it out.

Serve and enjoy. Take a spoon and taste your delicious mug
cake. If you want to, you may frost and decorate the cake. First

dessert anytime.

NOTES:

You may use any ‘microwave safe’ mug for your cake.

A large and deeper mug will create a softer moister cake,
while a smaller shallower mug will make a more firm cake.
Place a piece of parchment in the bottom for easy removal.

You may use any mug for your cake. A large

Mugs 3″ Diameter 4″ deep
create Cylinders that when laid sideways make log shaped cakes.
Slicing the cylinders, adding frosting or jelly between layers, makes
exciting-looking desserts using little time and effort.

Dairy-free Flour-free Low Carb Chocolate Bun

The ripe banana gives it sweetness, but you can add a little
powdered sugar or maple syrup if you want it sweeter. Or use
a non-ripe banana and extra sweetener if you don’t want any
banana flavor in the frosting.

To make the frosting, just blend all ingredients together. (It’s
even better if you microwave the banana for 10-15 seconds
before adding other ingredients.)

Be sure not to use a cold or frozen banana unless you
completely thaw it first, because it will solidify the coconut
butter and make it taste grainy.
