Low Carb Pumpkin Mug Cake

Last week I uploaded a recipe for Keto Flourless Pumpkin Muffins which was based on a mug cake recipe I was working on.  Muffins are great to have on hand, but when you feel like having a single treat and not 5 or 6 of them, mug cakes are pretty handy!

For this recipe I used some homemade almond butter, but you can totally use store-bought ones!  I really like the one from Artisana because it comes out nice and crunchy.

This mug cake is sweetened with stevia, my favourite sweetener, and is extremely easy to make! Traditionally mug cakes are microwaved for 90 seconds, but it wasn’t enough for this one! 120 seconds is the way to go for this recipe!

You can eat this cake as is or top with some sugar-free whipped cream and chocolate! YUM! It’s also pretty filling so you may not need to eat anything else for a little while.
