Hello from TINA KASHIAN! We love banana bread in our house, but we dislike heating the oven when it is ninety degrees or hotter outside. I found this recipe online and changed it a bit. I also added chocolate chips which is another favorite with my two girls. Who doesn't like chocolate? This banana bread mug cake is easy to make and cooks in the microwave in one minute. The ingredients are readily available in any household as well. To my surprise, it tastes like oven-baked banana bread. This recipe is for one mug—a quick snack. You can double or triple it for more. My girls made it on their own and liked it a lot. Always a win!
Ingredients:
½ mashed banana (use a ripe banana)
2 tbsp flour
½ tsp baking powder
1 tbsp maple syrup
½ tbsp milk
Chocolate chips or chopped nuts (whichever you prefer or both!)
Directions:
Mash the ripe banana in a microwave safe mug.
Add the flour, baking powder, maple syrup and milk. Mix until combined.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips or nuts on top to your liking.
Microwave uncovered for one minute. Cool for two minutes.
Enjoy your banana bread snack!

Lucy
Berberian is busy preparing her family’s Mediterranean restaurant for Easter on
the Jersey Shore—but a batch of sweets is to die for . . .
Bikers are thundering into the seaside town of Ocean Crest for the annual
Bikers on the Beach gathering that raises funds for injured veterans. It’s a
big boost for the Kebab Kitchen, as well as for local businesses like Melanie
Haven’s candy shop. But Melanie is about to find herself in a sticky situation.
When Melanie and Lucy attend a beach bonfire, a local landlord is found dead
after apparently choking on a piece of salt water taffy. Melanie, who was known
to have a contentious relationship with the victim, is quickly skewered as the
prime suspect. But Lucy is determined to prove her friend’s innocence before
the real killer coasts free . . .
