Continuing my long list of easy fall dessert recipes with this fabulous Pumpkin Mug Cake! Soft, moist and so flavorful - this is the perfect quick sweet treat.

I was never a fan of mug cakes until my children got obsessed with them. And now it's fun for me to create interesting seasonal recipes for these quick, single-serve cakes like this Chocolate Cherry Mug Cake.

Mug cakes are not just easy and quick to make, but are also very versatile. You could use any flour, flavoring, or seasonal fruit...add chocolate or leave out the chocolate. In case of a mess up ( if there is one at all!), the wastage is minimal.

How To Make the Pumpkin Mug Cake

  • These little desserts don't need much prep. Just one small bowl and simply dump all the ingredients in it and mix it all up with a fork.
  • Pour into a small ramekin and in the microwave for a couple of minutes. I don't even grease the ramekins anymore. It works out just fine, you eat out of the cup anyway!

Ingredient Notes

  • I particularly enjoy making these with alternate flours, for this recipe, I used quinoa flour. And so it's gluten-free!
  • I prefer to make these eggless...saves me the bother of looking for a small egg  (that's what works well in these little cakes, according to my experience) and also ensures that the cake doesn't overflow.
  • This cake also happens to be refined sugar-free, as I had some coconut sugar in the pantry. Feel free to switch and use regular sugar, honey, or even maple sugar. It doesn't even need much sugar as the pumpkin puree adds natural sweetness and gosh, how moist it keeps the cake.

And don't worry, even if you're not a pumpkin fan, I can assure you, that you will be after you've tried this recipe!

Can Mug Cakes Be Made In Ovens

These cakes can be easily made in conventional ovens too. They will take longer to bake though, around 10-12 minutes.

You could easily double, triple, or quadruple this recipe, and bake the cakes in your oven. They'll still bake up faster than a regular cake. And you don't even have to wait for them to cool so you can eat them warm, straight out of the cups, topped with whipped cream ( I used coconut cream here)  or ice cream.

This Pumpkin Mug Cake is a wonderful cozy dessert for cool days. It's soft, and moist, has oodles of lovely warm pumpkin pie spices, and is ready in a jiffy.

The best part? It's made with wonderful wholesome ingredients. Like I always say, eating healthy does not have to be boring..ever!
