Equipment

  • 1 Microwavable Mug

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g Pumpkin Puree
  • 28 g Coconut Oil 2 tbsp
  • 55 g Brown Sugar
  • 40 ml Soya Milk
  • 1/8 tsp Baking Powder Very important to get baking powder rather than baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 50 g Gluten Free Rice Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Choose a fun microwavable mug that is on the larger side
  • Once you have selected your mug, add in the coconut oil and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. This will ensure that you will have a silky-smooth batter that will be much easier to mix.
  • Next, add in the rest of the wet ingredients including the pumpkin puree, soya milk and vanilla extract. Give everything a nice mix to make sure the mixture is smooth and consistent.
  • Then, add the brown sugar, baking soda, gluten free rice flour and cinnamon to the mug. Same as before, give everything a nice mix to make sure the mixture is smooth and consistent.
  • Now that you have a thoroughly mixed batter time to put the mug into the microwave.
  • Microwave for 2-3 minutes (if you want a softer cake do it for 2 minutes but if you want a firmer cake then microwave for 3 minutes – up to you! 😉)
  • Take out of the microwave, let the mug cool for a couple of seconds and then tuck in! 😊

Notes

Measurements depend on the size of your mug
