5 Minute Fall Dessert: Paleo Pumpkin Cake In A Cup

5 Minute Fall Dessert: Paleo Pumpkin Cake In A Cup

Remember that 5 minute paleo chocolate cake in a cup recipe?!  Now you can make it again... but pumpkin pie style!! Perfect (and super quick) recipe for the fall. This recipe uses pumpkin puree, but you are welcome to puree some pumpkin and make it from fresh also.

Paleo Pumpkin Cake In A Cup

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon of coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoon of butter
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoon of pumpkin puree (either buy or make it!)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoon of honey
  • ½ teaspoon of baking powder

Instructions

1. Throw all the ingredients in a mug.  I recommend putting in the liquid ones in first so that all the coconut flour and such doesn't become a big blob of hardness when mixing.
2. Mix it up! I used a fork, but you can use whatever.  If you want to use a hand mixer, I would recommend NOT mixing it in the mug or else it might make a huge mess.

3. Pop it in the microwave and heat it for 2 minutes.
4. Let it sit for a bit so that it can  (1) cool down and not burn your tongue off and (2) for it to be less moist.
5.  Now you can enjoy your awesome fall pumpkin cake that you just made in less than 5 mins!

Tried the pumpkin pie in a cup. Yumola! Next time I will use 1tbsp honey (2 was just a little too sweet for me) and I added 1/4 tsp cloves and topped everything with a dollop of vanilla Iice cream. The cup is super hot so the advice of waiting for things to cool down is paramount. I think I'll add some pumpkin seeds and hemp hearts for more texture. Great recipe!!!! Thanks for posting.

Can this be baked? If so do you have a time estimate? Thanks! Looks amazing but I don't own a microwave

Coconut flour has been making me SO happy lately!!!!! And this recipe only makes me happier, knowing that the flour will make it all fluffy and amazing :) Coconut flour doesn't even need sweetener to taste good!

I just have to thank you for making recipes like this one that don't have any almond products in them! I am trying to be as strict paleo as I can, but it's extremely difficult since I'm very allergic to almonds. Keep'em comin'!!

Aww, thanks for checking my recipes out! I like to not stick with only one type of paleo friendly 'flours' so I mix it up from time to time :) Btw, if you like this one, another coconut flour one you can try is the chocolate one (https://ohsnapletseat.com/2013/03/04/a-paleo-dessert-cup-of-chocolate-cake/) :) Thanks for stopping by!
