3 tbsp Buckwheat flour
1/4 tsp Baking powder
1/8 tsp Baking soda
1 small pinch Salt
1/2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
1 Tbsp Coconut sugar You may want to add more sugar. This is a lightly sweetened cake.
3 tbsp Pumpkin puree
2-3 tbsp Coconut milk You can use any milk of your choice
1 tbsp Coconut oil
1 tbsp, heaped Peanut butter
2 tbsp Dark chocolate (70%) chips Optional

In a small bowl, add the buckwheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.
3 tbsp Buckwheat flour, 1/4 tsp Baking powder, 1/8 tsp Baking soda, 1 small pinch Salt, 1 Tbsp Coconut sugar, 1/2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
Stir in the milk, oil, pumpkin puree, and peanut butter. You should have a thick batter. If the batter seems too dry, add another tablespoon of milk.
3 tbsp Pumpkin puree, 2-3 tbsp Coconut milk, 1 tbsp Coconut oil, 1 tbsp Peanut butter
Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
2 tbsp Dark chocolate (70%) chips
Transfer the mixture into a microwave-safe mug. Place a plate underneath ( to catch any overflow).
Sprinkle some chocolate chips if you like.
Set the plate in your microwave and cook for 1 minute 45 seconds. You may have to cook for another 20-30 seconds, depending on your microwave.
Serve warm with icecream or whipped cream. Enjoy!

Don't overcook. Every microwave is different, so start checking at 1 minute 15 seconds.
Let the cake rest for 30 seconds before digging in.
I prefer to make eggless mug cakes. It 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.
If your batter feels too thick, add one or two tablespoons of milk. The batter should be thick and have a soft-dropping consistency.
Place a small plate under the ramekin to catch any overflow.
