Description
A quick, moist, and fluffy keto-friendly pumpkin spice mug cake made with coconut flour and almond flour. Ready in just two minutes, this low-carb dessert satisfies sweet cravings without kicking you out of ketosis.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons (14g) unsweetened finely milled coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons (16g) almond flour
- 2 tablespoons (30g) 100% pure pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons (16g) granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until evenly distributed.
- Add the melted butter, pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a fork or whisk until a thick, scoopable batter forms.
- Lightly grease a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug with butter or cooking spray. Transfer the batter into the mug, flattening the top slightly.
- Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Check if set; if still wet in the center, microwave for another 15-30 seconds. Do not overcook.
- Let the mug cake rest in the mug for 1-2 minutes to firm up before eating.
- Top with whipped cream, crushed pecans, or sugar-free chocolate chips if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Coconut flour is highly absorbent; ensure you use finely milled flour for the best texture. Microwaves vary in power, so start with 60 seconds and add time in 15-second increments to avoid a rubbery texture. Let the cake rest for 2 minutes after microwaving to allow residual heat to finish cooking the center. For dairy-free, swap butter for coconut oil. For nut-free, omit almond flour and add an extra tablespoon of coconut flour plus a teaspoon of liquid.
