Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, add the cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Microwave on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set in the middle.
  5. Let it cool for a minute before enjoying straight from the mug.
  6. Optional: Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.

Notes

This mug cake is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
