Tahini Banana Mug Cake

Ever NEED a little treat but don’t want, or have the time, to make a cake or a batch of cookies?  This mini, super-quick dessert is the perfect go-to for exactly those sweet-tooth moments.  

The beauty of a “mug cake” is that it uses easy ingredients that you will have in your pantry and, after a little mix, you simply throw it in the microwave and – voila! – done!  Very little prep is required and very little clean up too!  Leaving more time to enjoy it and its chocolatey goodness!!
