Ingredients
  

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/8 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree

2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for topping

Instructions
 

In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined.

    Add in the pumpkin puree, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth batter, making sure there are no dry flour pockets.

      Scrape down the sides of the mug to ensure everything is well incorporated. You can add a few chocolate chips or chopped nuts at this stage for extra flavor if desired.

        Microwave the mug cake on high for 1 minute. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. If needed, microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds. Be cautious not to overcook, as it will continue to cook slightly once removed from the microwave.

          Let the cake cool for a minute or two before adding your desired toppings, like whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

            Enjoy your delightful Fluffy Pumpkin Spice Mug Cake right from the mug!
