Ingredients

Wet Ingredients
  • 2 Tbsp. pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling, 100% canned
  • 2 Tbsp. canola oil or melted butter, or vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp. milk whole
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • salt pinch
  • pumpkin pie spice pinch
  • mini chocolate chips for finishing
  • sea salt
  • Whipped Cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Spray a 12-14 oz. microwavable safe mug with nonstick spray. 
  2. Whisk the wet ingredients together in the mug.
  3. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, being sure to get all flour pockets and being careful not to over mix.
  4. Microwave for 60 seconds, check for doneness. Microwave if needed again in 20 seconds after that until the cake is set. A slightly shiny top is OK. It’s better to under bake a mug cake so be careful not to over cook.
  5. Allow to cool slightly, top with mini chocolate chips, flaky sea salt, whipped cream, etc. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Mug cake is best enjoyed right away. But if for some reason you do have leftovers, you can store for up to 1-2 days; just cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate.
