Pumpkin Spice Keto Mug Cake
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice (a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Optional Toppings:
- Keto-friendly whipped cream
- Chopped nuts
- A sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions:
Prepare the Mug Cake Batter:
- Choose a Microwave-Safe Mug:
- Select a microwave-safe mug with a capacity of at least 12 ounces to allow for rising during cooking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In the mug, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, keto-friendly sweetener, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and a pinch of salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- Add pumpkin puree, egg, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients in the mug. Mix well until a smooth batter forms.
Microwave the Mug Cake:
- Microwave:
- Microwave the mug on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set in the center. Cooking times may vary based on your microwave’s wattage.
- Check for Doneness:
- Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter), the mug cake is ready.
Optional Toppings and Serving:
- Cool Slightly:
- Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute before handling.
- Add Toppings:
- Optionally, top the Pumpkin Spice Keto Mug Cake with keto-friendly whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Keto Mug Cake directly from the mug. It’s a quick and satisfying treat!
Notes:
- Adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less keto-friendly sweetener to suit your taste preferences.
- Customize the spice blend by adjusting the amount of pumpkin spice or adding additional spices like cinnamon or nutmeg.
- This mug cake is a single-serving recipe, but you can easily multiply the ingredients to make more servings if needed.
- Ensure that your pumpkin puree is unsweetened and not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars.
