A hint of maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness, while optional dark chocolate chips take the indulgence to the next level.

In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, add the mashed banana and egg. Whisk together with a fork until well combined.
Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, maple syrup, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until a smooth batter forms.
If desired, fold in dark chocolate chips for an extra indulgent chocolate kick.
Place the mug or bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 60–75 seconds, depending on your microwave's power. The muffin should rise and set but remain slightly moist in the center.
Carefully remove from the microwave (the mug or bowl may be hot). Let it rest for 1–2 minutes to cool slightly.
Dig in straight from the mug, or gently loosen the edges with a knife and transfer the muffin onto a plate to enjoy!
