A delicious fall-inspired mug cake. This quick and easy dessert is perfect when you have a small amount of pumpkin puree to use or when you’re looking for an easy single-serving dessert.
I tried countless variations of this mug cake and this is by far the best one that I tried. All you need is 5 minutes and a few simple ingredients.
Here are the steps that you need to make a simple vegan pumpkin mug cake at home.
Start by adding the vegan butter in a mug and melt it in the microwave, about 20 seconds. Add the brown sugar, pumpkin puree, oat milk and vanilla extract to the mug with the melted butter. Whisk to combine.
Add the flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice mix, cinnamon and salt to the same mug. Whisk until combined. Try not to overmix.
Microwave for 90 seconds.
Serve with your favorite ice cream. Enjoy!
Yes! This recipe can be made gluten-free by using a 1:1 gluten-free flour mix. I tried it with this flour mix and the results were similar, though softer.
I only tested this recipe with white all-purpose flour and a 1:1 gluten-free flour mix as mentioned above. I can’t guarantee good results with other flours that I haven’t tried. If you try using a different flour, let me know how it turns out in the comments!
You can replace the vegan butter in this recipe with a light tasting oil, such as avocado oil. The results will be very similar. If you use oil, I would add an extra touch of salt. And of course, unlike the butter, you don’t need to melt the oil.
This recipe was only tested using the microwave, so I can’t recommend a baked option.
