Mug cakes are a perfect breakfast size after weight loss surgery (and even if you haven't!). But most 'regular' mug cakes would hardly qualify as something appropriate in a weight loss diet. This one takes out pretty much all the bad, adds plenty of the so important proteins, and is delicious! 178 calories; 26 grams of carbs; 9 grams of protein; 5 grams of fat; 8 grams of sugar (mainly from the banana);

Oven preparation

Step 1

For preparation in an oven, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. If you'll be using your microwave, there is, of course, no reason to preheat your oven

Step 2

Get a large mug or bowl and mash the banana with a fork to a fine paste

Step 3

Mix the remaining ingredients, except for the blueberries, through the banana mush. Stir well. Now add the blueberries. No reason to mush these as well, it's nice if the blueberries retain a bit of form, as they make for lovely taste bombs in the cake. Which is why we added them last.

Step 4

Oven: If you want to prepare this oven, make sure you transfer you mixture to an oven safe mug (if it's not already in one), and place it in the preheated oven for 15 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius, in the middle of the oven.

Step 5

Microwave: Easiest method ever, just put it in the microwave. Each microwave is a bit different, so use trial and error to get your perfect consistency. A 900 watt microwave should take about 2 minutes for a nice result!
