Mug Muffin Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the melted coconut oil, milk, egg, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup to a microwave-safe mug. Use a fork to mix these ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in whole wheat flour, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice into the wet mixture. Mix well until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Microwave the Muffin: Cook the mug muffin in the microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, or until the batter has fully cooked and the muffin has risen. Start with 60 seconds, check the doneness, and if still wet, continue microwaving in 15 to 30-second increments until done.
- Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the hot mug from the microwave and let it cool slightly. Enjoy the muffin directly from the mug or invert it onto a plate for serving.
