Ingredients

1 medium very ripe banana
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1 tablespoon milk
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
6 slices banana
1 tablespoon white sugar, or to taste

Steps:

Combine ripe banana, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, melted butter, milk, and vanilla in a mixing bowl; use a potato masher to mash the mixture into a smooth puree. Add flour and mix until just combined. Stir in walnuts and chocolate chips until evenly mixed.
Transfer batter evenly into two lightly buttered coffee mugs or cups. Tap a few times on a towel to settle everything down and ensure there are no air pockets.
Microwave cups, one at a time, until a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 minute.
Let cool before serving.
Optional: Garnish each with banana slices and dust with sugar. Brulee the tops with a blowtorch.
