Want a sweet treat fast? You can make this yummy pumpkin cake in just three minutes! It’s good for you too, with low carbs and lots of healthy fats. Mix a few things in a mug, pop it in the microwave, and bam – you have cake! This is perfect when you want something sweet, but don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking. Let’s get started!

Things You’ll Need

Coconut Flour (2 tablespoons): This makes the cake light and fluffy. Don’t pack it down, just scoop it!
Almond Flour (2 tablespoons): Adds a nice, nutty taste. Make sure it’s finely ground.
Sugar-Free Sweetener (1 tablespoon): Use your favorite kind! I like erythritol, but monk fruit works great too.
Pumpkin Spice (½ teaspoon): The star of the show! It’s okay to add a bit more if you love spice.
Baking Soda (¼ teaspoon): This makes the cake rise, so don’t skip it.
Salt (¼ teaspoon): Just a pinch to balance the flavors.
Oil (2 tablespoons): I used avocado oil, but you can use melted coconut oil too.
Egg (1): Helps bind everything together. Room temperature is best.
Pumpkin Puree (3 tablespoons): Not pumpkin pie filling! Just plain pumpkin.
Vanilla Extract (½ teaspoon): Adds a yummy flavor.

Let’s Get Cooking!

Mix the dry stuff: Grab a bowl and whisk the coconut flour, almond flour, sweetener, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt. Easy peasy!
Add the wet stuff: Throw in the oil, egg, pumpkin, and vanilla extract. Mix it all up until it’s smooth. Don’t worry about overmixing here.
Divide and conquer: Split the batter into two mugs or small ramekins. You want to fill them about halfway.
Microwave magic: Cook each mug cake in the microwave for 60 seconds. Yes, it’s that fast!
Cool down: Take them out using an oven mitt (they’ll be hot!) and let them sit for 5 minutes. This helps them finish cooking.
Enjoy: Time to dig in! You can add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.

Let’s Make a Super Easy Keto Pumpkin Mug Cake!

Okay, friends, are you ready for the fastest and yummiest treat ever? This keto pumpkin mug cake is perfect for when you want something sweet but don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Plus, it’s low-carb! Let’s get started.

Getting Your Stuff Together

First, grab all your goodies. You need coconut flour, almond flour, a sugar-free sweetener (I like monk fruit or erythritol), pumpkin spice, baking soda, salt, some oil (avocado oil is great), an egg, pumpkin puree (make sure it’s not the pie filling), and vanilla extract. See? All simple stuff you might already have!

Mixing it Up – Easy Peasy!

Take a bowl – any bowl will do – and mix all the dry things together. That’s the flours, sweetener, spice, baking soda, and salt. Give it a good whisk. Now, add in the wet stuff: oil, egg, pumpkin, and vanilla. Mix it all up until it looks smooth. Don’t worry about over-mixing; this is a super forgiving recipe.

Cooking Magic – Super Fast!

Divide your mix into two mugs or small ramekins. Pop one in the microwave for just 60 seconds. Yep, that’s it! One minute to cake heaven. Use a mitt to take it out – it’ll be hot. Let it cool for five minutes. If you’re making two, do the second one now.

Making it Your Own

Want to change things up a bit? You totally can! Add a few chocolate chips (sugar-free, of course) or some chopped nuts to the mix. A little cream cheese frosting on top is amazing too. Make it your special treat!

Serving Ideas

This little cake is awesome as is, but try it with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon. It’s perfect with your morning coffee or as a quick dessert after dinner. I love having it with a cup of herbal tea before bed.

Keeping it Fresh

If you somehow have leftovers, cover your mug cake and put it in the fridge. It’ll stay good for a couple of days. Just warm it up a tiny bit in the microwave when you want another yummy bite.
