Cook Time: 1 mins
Total Time: 6 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for best mixing results.
- Select a microwave-safe mug (approximately 12-14 oz capacity) and lightly grease the interior with coconut oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, pumpkin spice, baking powder, and salt. Whisk dry ingredients thoroughly to eliminate any lumps.
- In a separate small bowl, crack the egg and whisk until well beaten. Add pumpkin puree and honey, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until a consistent batter forms, ensuring no dry flour pockets remain.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared mug, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, watching carefully to prevent overcooking. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on microwave wattage.
- Remove mug from microwave using a heat-resistant mitt and let cake rest for 1-2 minutes to complete setting.
- Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of extra pumpkin spice, a dollop of coconut cream, or chopped nuts before serving.
- Enjoy warm directly from the mug as a quick, nutritious paleo-friendly dessert.
Tips
- • Room temperature ingredients are your secret weapon for a smoother, more evenly mixed batter. • Use a microwave-safe mug with tall sides to prevent overflow during cooking. • Watch your cooking time closely – microwaves vary, so start at 60 seconds and add time if needed. • For extra moisture, don't overmix the batter – just combine until ingredients are just incorporated. • Let the cake rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to achieve the ideal texture. • Experiment with toppings like a sprinkle of cinnamon, chopped nuts, or a dollop of coconut cream for added excitement. • If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the honey or substitute with a sugar-free alternative.
