Banana Cinnamon Mug Muffin Recipe

The basic Banana Mug Muffin recipe is a breakfast game-changer. The addition of ground flaxseed adds more fiber, nutrients, and texture; adding cacao powder and walnuts makes it taste like a brownie. I like blueberries or pomegranate seeds and orange zest for a citrusy flavor, and using apple pie spice with minced apples mimics apple muffins.
