RECIPE - PUMPKIN PIE (in a mug and more)

Kinda like the pre-workout "CUP" cake this is pumpkin pie in a mug.  This could be a pre or post workout treat and it only takes minutes.  A whopping 2 minutes to be exact. I wish these recipes sucked because I can't stop making them.

What you will need...

Pumpkin Pie in a Mug

3 tbs of almond meal or coconut flour (consistency will change)
2 tbs of coconut oil or ghee (clarified butter)
1 egg
1/2 cup of pumpkin puree
1 tsp of pumpkin spice
1 tbs of honey or maple syrup
1 tsp of vanilla extract
a dash of salt
1/2 tsp of baking powder

All righty, here's how it's done...


Mix everything together really well. Place in a mug or a small microwave safe dish and microwave for 2 minutes. I usually put it in for 1 minute, stir and put 'er back in for a final minute. Drizzle maple syrup or full fat whipping cream, then hurry up and eat it all to yourself.  YUM!

You could also try a "Plain ol' Chocolate MUG CAKE".

3 tbs of almond meal or coconut flour (again, will change the consistency...bit dry)
3 tbs of cocoa powder
2 tbs of honey or maple syrup
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 egg
(2 eggs...extra protein but add a bit more flour)
a few dashes of salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon. 

Variation - use 2 tbs of cocoa powder and 1 tbs of almond butter instead. 

SO good!

"Banana chocolate Mug Cake" 

1 small ripe banana
1 1/2 Tablespoons almond butter(or any nut butter)
1 egg
2 heaping Tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons sweetener (optional)

You could make it extra devilish by adding some no no's like...Chocolate chips but just a few. Or be good and add walnuts, dried fruit(optional) 

Toss everything in a microwave safe mug as said before and microwave for 2 minutes. Top with nut butter like I did. Enjoy!

1 minute to whip up and two minutes in the microwave. BOOM!
