Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, and pumpkin spice.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Microwave on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The cake should rise and be set in the middle. (Microwave times may vary, so start checking at 1 minute and 30 seconds).
- Allow the mug cake to cool for a few minutes before enjoying, as it will be very hot.
- Serve as is or add a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe can easily be scaled up or down according to the number of mug cakes you want to make. Multiply or divide the ingredients accordingly.
- While mini chocolate chips add a delightful burst of chocolate, they are optional. You can omit them if you prefer a plain pumpkin spice mug cake.
- Feel free to experiment with other mix-ins, such as chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or white chocolate chips, to add different textures and flavors to your mug cake.
- Enhance your mug cake with toppings like whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a caramel or chocolate sauce drizzle.
- If you prefer a less sweet cake, you can reduce the amount of sugar to 2 tablespoons.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your microwave's wattage. To avoid overcooking, check your mug cake at the 1-minute and 30 seconds mark.
