A single-serve mug cake made with mashed banana and melted margarine, mixed with flour and chocolate chips, then microwaved until fluffy.
Banana Chocolate Chip Mug Cake has a high glycemic load of 39.8 per serving — significant blood sugar impact — consider pairing with protein and fiber, or adjusting portion size.
The primary glycemic load contributors are all-purpose flour (GL 16.0), banana, ripe (GL 12.3), granulated white sugar (GL 7.8). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.
Glycemic load is calculated as GL = (GI × Net Carbs per serving) ÷ 100, where GI is the glycemic index and net carbs exclude dietary fiber. Calculations draw on established nutritional references including USDA FoodData Central values and peer-reviewed glycemic index research.
