So I hardly ever post on the forums, but I always read them. BUT when I tried this recipe I had to share it, cause its too amazing to keep to myself.

Mix 1 mashed banana, 1 egg and 1 spoonful of chia seeds in a mug. Heat in the microwave until its firm (i did it for 2 minutes 30 seconds, but just see what works for you). Turn mug upside down and put it on a plate (or just eat out of the mug)
And your done!

I also added fresh strawberries and kiwi fruit, but my friend eats it with strawberry greek yoghurt. Seriously try it. Its amazing.

    Maybe that is good, but it is definitely NOT a cake.

    I know its not a real cake, but when I made it I was completely shocked at how much the texture and taste is just like a cake. I was expecting it to taste like scrambled eggs mixed with banana or something strange - but I was shocked at how cake-like it actually turned out to be.

    That's very interesting. Banana-flavored scrambled eggs was my first thought exactly.

    I'm estimating this at 225 calories: 105 for the banana, 70 for the egg, 50 for the chia seeds.

    Ground chia or whole? (Wondering in terms of gelling properties)

    Also... a tablespoon, a teaspoon... what's a spoonful?

    Thanks for sharing. this looks great!

    I couldn't taste the egg at all, however I like eggs so I maybe just didn't notice it. You would definitely have to mix it with fruit or yoghurt or something though, I think it would be too rich by itself.

    I used whole chia seeds. And I put in 1 tablespoon.

    What are chia seeds Do you have to use them? Is there a substitute? I don't have them and wanted to make this now.

    I tried it... I don't know if it's just me, and I don't want to discourage anyone from trying it themselves, but it wasn't very nice. I was very optimistic because it smelled good, but the taste and texture wasn't something I enjoyed at all, I was too aware of the egg taste. Sorry!

    Others may enjoy and I encourage you all give it a go, it did have a sweet taste though, so it's got that going for it :ohwell:

    It's a shame because I cannot eat gluten so was hoping this would be a new sweet treat to add to my collection :frown:

    Thanks for sharing anyway :flowerforyou:
