Quick & easy & most importantly....DELICIOUS.
Recipe:
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon of sugar
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
2 tablespoons milk (or almond milk)
1 tablespoon oil
1 Tbsp Speculoos crunchy cookie butter
1/2 banana
whipped cream
In a (non-stick sprayed) small mug combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt until no lumps remain with a fork. Stir in milk and oil until smooth. Make sure and scrape your fork around the edges of the cup so you don't get dry flour in the corners/bottom of the mug. Drop the speculoos in the middle of the cake mix and push it down to submerge. Bake in the microwave on high for 50 seconds-1 minute. You may need to add or subtract 5-10 seconds depending on your microwave, but don’t be tempted to overcook or it will be dry. It should still be moist on the bottom and will continue cooking as it sets. We have a pretty powerful microwave and I do ours for 50 seconds (1:15 for a 1 1/2 sized batch).
Top with bananas & whipped cream -- enjoy!
Original recipe found here, but I have made some adjustments here and there. Also, speculoos isn't the only thing you could use! Peanut Butter, Nutella, fruit preserves, etc. all work amazingly with this! The speculoos, however, has really good flavor and gives it a great CRUNCH. If you do fruit preserves, it really makes the cake moist - we tried ours a few months back with raspberry and blackberry preserves-delish. enjoy!
