Ingredients:
  • ¾ tablespoon ground flax seeds
  • 1 ½ tablespoons dairy-free milk (or skim milk)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ + ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ + ⅛ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ tablespoons brown monk fruit sweetener (or brown sugar, or your favorite sweetener)
  • Whipped cream, optional

Instructions:
  1. In a small bowl, stir together flax seed and milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes—this takes the place of an egg.
  2. In a large, microwave-safe mug, whisk flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Add pumpkin puree, vanilla, the flax mixture, and sweetener. Stir until smooth.
  4. Microwave for about 1 minute 30 seconds (timing may vary by microwave wattage). The cake should be firm to the touch.
  5. Let cool 1–2 minutes. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of spice, if you like. Serve warm and enjoy!
