A friend sent us the link to a Paleo blog with a form of this recipe. She liked the recipe and thought it would be good for the Kids Cooks. I did adjust it to use ingredients I feel are more likely going to be in their pantry when they live and cook independently.
They like it and are adding it to their breakfast repertoire. We hope you enjoy the fresh, banana bread “mug cake” for breakfast sometime soon!
Note: They will also prepare the dry ingredients ahead of time in a mason jar. Then on the morning needed, make everything in a bowl and place it back into the jar without a lid for cooking and eating. As we like to say in our house: Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy !
Update 2.4.18:
The Kid Cooks discovered they would like to prep the dry ingredients beforehand so that making this in the morning was even easier when they were less focused and in a hurry. So now in the pdf document we have two versions of the recipe available, one that indicates prep ahead directions as well as uses a mason jar.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I to find this matter to be really one thing that I feel I’d never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely wide for me. I’m looking forward on your subsequent post, I’ll try to get the hold of it!

I have three teenage kids with unique abilities. The “About Our Project” section of the site explains our goals. I have been cooking for years and so many recipes are my own. Others are from different sites and sources that I then adapt based on our interests and needs. They also morph as the kids field test them. Feel free to ask any questions – If I can be of assistance, I certainly will try.
