Ingredients
  

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons pumpkin puree

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or substitute with brown sugar for a richer flavor)

1/4 cup milk (can use dairy or any non-dairy alternatives)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional: mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for topping

Instructions
 

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Use a fork to whisk the ingredients together until they are evenly blended.

    Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour the pumpkin puree, milk, vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil), and vanilla extract into the mug containing the dry mixture. Stir gently with the fork until everything is just combined, being cautious not to overmix as this can affect the texture.

      Incorporate Optional Toppings: If you’re looking for a delightful twist, fold in a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips or a handful of chopped nuts to add an extra layer of flavor and crunch to your muffin.

        Microwave the Mug Muffin: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds. Microwaves vary in strength, so keep an eye on it—the muffin should puff up and appear set in the center. If it's still wet or gooey, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until it is fully cooked.

          Cool and Enjoy: Once cooked, let the muffin cool for a minute before enjoying. For a scrumptious finish, top it off with light whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired!

              Presentation Tips: Serve the mug muffin directly in the mug for a cozy presentation, or carefully transfer it onto a small plate. A sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream on top can enhance its appeal!
