    Microwave mug cake is a quick, easy treat that comes together in 10 minutes or less. Love a good pumpkin flavored breakfast or dessert but want a healthy option? This recipe is perfect for you. It's gluten and dairy free (no milk needed)! To make this recipe keto, substitute maple syrup with your favorite zero calorie/carb sweetener and use sugar free chocolate chips!

    Ingredients:

    • Pumpkin puree: a tasty fall-time favorite!
    • Almond flour: a gluten free, low carb flour with delicious, nutty flavor. Substitute regular all-purpose flour if desired (but use only 3 tablespoons)!
    • Maple syrup: honey or agave are also yummy. For keto, substitute your favorite zero calorie/carb sweetener (such as stevia or monk fruit). Keep in mind that these tend to be sweeter so you'll likely need less.
    • Egg: make it fluffy!
    • Pure vanilla extract: pure is best but imitation works, too.
    • Salt: adds complexity and contrast.
    • Cinnamon & cloves: spice it up!
    • Baking powder: leavening agent to make your cake rise.
    • Dairy free chocolate chips: sweet little morsels! Consider sugar free chips if you're making this recipe keto. Some brands of chocolate chips have milk in them so be sure to select a dairy free brand if this is a concern for you.
