I know I can go buy a can of pumpkin and make something during summer, but well, it’s just not the same. There’s something about the changing of the seasons, the crisp air and leaves falling that makes eating pumpkin somewhat of a package deal.
Luckily, it’s now that time of year, so celebrations are certainly in order! If you are looking for a pumpkin dessert that won’t cost you an arm and a leg to make, or take hours of your time, then you are in THE best place.
This pumpkin chocolate chip mug cake might be one of the best and easiest desserts I have ever made. This little guy is packed with pumpkin flavor, loaded with chocolate, and completely guilt-free.
Did I mention you can make it in the microwave? All you need is a few minutes, and you have a cake-like dessert all ready to be enjoyed!
Start by melting the butter or coconut oil in a ramekin or mug, then adding the canned pumpkin (be sure to get the 100% pumpkin, not the pie filling!), and an egg. Mix until fully-incorporated.
Add in a sweetener of your choice to taste. I like to use a packet of stevia/erythritol, but you can use up to a tablespoon of granulated sweetener. Next, you’ll want add in some coconut flour, and mix once more.
Top it with some chocolate chips, if desired, then place in the microwave for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave.
