Let’s make a Pumpkin Mug Cake!
Mug muffins are awesome breakfasts, snacks, or weeknight treats. In the fall, my favorite way to start the morning is cozying up with a big cup of coffee and perfectly sweet pumpkin muffin. If you’ve got limited time in the morning and are wanting this experience—my pumpkin mug cake is the perfect solution.
This recipe is made gluten free using oat flour, super moist with pumpkin puree, fall-flavored with pumpkin pie spice, creamy with nut butter, and naturally sweet with honey. Friends, this mug cake is loaded with all the goods and you’re going to feel perfectly fueled after enjoying it.
I hope you love this recipe as much as I do! My pumpkin mug muffin is:
