How to Make Banana Nut Mug Cake
  1. Lightly spray two 12-ounce microwave-safe mugs with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, brown sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. Sprinkle in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gently stir just until combined.
  4. Carefully fold in the chopped walnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared mugs, and add more walnuts on top if desired.
  6. Microwave each mug separately for 90 to 120 seconds. Check for doneness; keep microwaving in 10-second intervals if needed.
  7. Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving. Enjoy warm!
