Banana Bread For One

Banana Bread For One
2 1/2 Tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt
sugar to taste, optional
1/2 Tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 Tablespoon water
1/2 small ripe banana, mashed
scant 1 Tablespoon oil, optional
1 Tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Stir together the flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and sugar. Stir together the flax and water and add in. Mix the banana, oil, milk, and vanilla and stir into dry ingredients  Microwave on HIGH (100%) power for 60-90 seconds. 
This is another one of those quick, individual breakfasts I have tired. It may seem like a long ingredient list just to make one serving, but it is quick to mix up and some ingredients may be left out. I always include the flax-water mixture, as I think this makes the texture fluffier and the muffin rises better, but it isn't necessary. This really does taste like a banana muffin. The addition of chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or raisins would be nice. I like to spread mine with peanut butter, but nutella would work too.
