Microwaveable Mug Cake Recipe – With Sharp

 

 

We recently upgraded our microwave oven to the Sharp 1.8 Cubic Feet Stainless Steel 1100W Over-the-Range Microwave Oven and could not be more excited to share all of the details with you all. I have to say, the edge-to-edge stainless steel, black glass, and discreet branding (yes, the logo is on the inside of the oven)  make this oven pair beautifully with our other stainless steel kitchen appliances. 

Our Sharp above range microwave oven saves on counter space without compromising functionality in our kitchen. This full-feature over-the-range microwave oven from Sharp offers convenient Sensor Cook Technology and Auto Defrost, making cooking and reheating my favorite foods, snacks, and beverages easier. 

During the day, our kids love to use our Sharp microwave oven to make a quick meal and hit the Express Cook +30 button to warm their food up; it truly makes cooking more simple during the day. The kids are super impatient,  so it’s an excellent one-button feature. Given that our family uses the kitchen appliances in our home MUCH more now than we have in the past, the Simply Better Clean enamel coating inside the oven is a life-saver because it is stain resistant wipes clean with a damp cloth.

This Sharp over-the-range microwave oven also includes a super cool setting to soften ice cream for dessert time! If you don’t have a sweet tooth, worry not. The Melt/Soften feature is also specifically tuned to quickly melt cheese, chocolate, or soften butter, making impulse baking a breeze.

My daughter’s most recent baking obsession to make when she is craving something sweet (which is all the time) in our Sharp Microwave Oven are mug cakes! By far, their favorite is the Chocolate Banana. It’s super easy to make:

 

 

 

One medium banana

2 TBSP cacao powder

2 TBSP almond milk

1 egg

2 TBSP maple syrup

1/2 TSP baking powder

1/4 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup oat flour

1/4 cup flour

 

Mash the banana inside a bowl. Mix the wet ingredients together. Stir in the dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips. Grease 2 microwave safe mugs with cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the 2 mugs. Individually microwave the mugs for 60-90 seconds – this is where the Express Cook +30 button comes in handy. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whip cream and enjoy!

 

 

Overall, we’ve been very happy with our new Sharp over-the-range microwave oven and recommend incorporating a Sharp microwave into your kitchen design. The microwave oven is very well made, making it super practical for everyday family life, and it looks so sleek and premium in our newly remodeled kitchen!
