Paleo, Gluten-free Pumpkin Mug Cake- an easy healthy breakfast or snack!

Have you ever tried making a mug cake? If they can be made pretty, please tell me your secrets. I’ve made mug cakes many of times and I think they just might be the ugliest foods on the blog. But they sure are tasty! I don’t know about you- but at 7:00 in the morning, I don’t care how my breakfast looks; as long as it tastes yummy and it’s fairly easy, I’m all good.

Drizzle on a little honey, add some fresh fruit and you’ve got yourself a really clean, super simple, scrumptious breakfast! This Pumpkin Mug Cake would also be great with a spread of almond butter or jam.

Author: Kim

  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

Instructions 

  • Prepare mug with non-stick spray or oil wiped on.
