Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • 3 tablespoons milk or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted butter
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips or nuts

Instructions:

  1. Select a large microwave-safe mug to prevent overflow.
  2. In the mug, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk well to ensure there are no lumps.
  3. Add pumpkin puree, milk, and vegetable oil to the dry mixture. Mix until smooth and homogenous.
  4. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts for added flavor.
  5. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely. The cake should rise and be firm to the touch.
  6. Allow to cool for a minute before enjoying. Top with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra treat!
