•

•
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
•
1 tablespoon white sugar
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
•
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
•
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

1 tablespoon milk

Directions
1
Combine ripe banana, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, melted butter, milk, and vanilla in a mixing bowl; use a potato masher to mash the mixture into a smooth puree. Add flour and mix until just combined. Stir in walnuts and chocolate chips until evenly mixed.
2
Transfer batter evenly into two lightly buttered coffee mugs or cups. Tap a few times on a towel to settle everything down and ensure there are no air pockets.
3
Microwave cups, one at a time, until a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 minute.
4
Let cool before serving.

Optional: Garnish each with banana slices and dust with sugar. Brulee the tops with a blowtorch.
