Indulge in the warm, comforting embrace of our “Perfect Pumpkin Pie in a Mug,” a delightful treat that brings the essence of autumn’s favorite flavor right to your fingertips. This single-serving dessert is a quick and convenient way to savor the cozy taste of pumpkin pie without the need for a full-sized pie.
At the heart of this recipe is the star ingredient, pumpkin puree. It’s the embodiment of fall, with its rich, earthy flavor and vibrant orange hue. Two tablespoons of this velvety puree provide the perfect base for the pumpkin pie experience.
To complement the pumpkin, we introduce a blend of warm spices. A dash of cinnamon adds a touch of sweetness and warmth, while pumpkin pie spice brings the quintessential autumnal flavor profile, filled with nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, to the mix. These spices are the essence of fall, transporting you to a cozy, fireside atmosphere with each bite.
The sweetness comes from two tablespoons of sugar, providing just the right amount of sweetness to balance the spices and pumpkin. It’s a symphony of flavors that dance harmoniously in every spoonful.
Coconut milk adds creaminess and a hint of tropical flair to the dessert, while vegetable oil ensures a moist and tender texture. A pinch of salt enhances all the flavors, creating a well-rounded taste profile.
Whole-wheat flour and baking powder are the key players that transform this mixture into a delightful cake-like texture. The whole-wheat flour adds a nutty undertone and a subtle depth to the dessert, while baking powder ensures a light, fluffy consistency.
Once all the ingredients are combined in an 8-ounce microwave-safe mug and whisked into a smooth batter, it’s a quick journey to pumpkin pie perfection. A mere 1 minute and 45 seconds in the microwave, and your dessert is ready to be enjoyed, warm and comforting, filling the air with the nostalgic aroma of pumpkin and spice.
