A yummy coconut flour paleo pumpkin mug cake that whips up in less than 2 minutes. Just mix the ingredients together in a small cup and microwave!
Can you believe it’s already September? Fall will be here in another couple weeks so we are enjoying the warm weather while it’s still here.
I’m a little late getting my first pumpkin recipe up. But, better late than never. I’ve already seen some great new low carb pumpkin recipes getting posted.
One of the pumpkin recipes I’ve been wanting to try is from Stacey at Beauty and The Foodie. She has some terrific recipes that I’ve been wanting to try like this savory bacon pumpkin bacon mock souffle.
I haven’t had a lot of time for baking. So, I figured I’d make a yummy coconut flour paleo pumpkin mug cake. It’s made in less than two minutes and tastes great!
To make this mug cake paleo diet friendly, I used a liquid stevia extract as the sweetener. Stevia is pretty much the only low carb sweetener allowed on a paleo diet. There’s some debate as to whether some stevia concentrates are okay since they are processed. However, SweetLeaf processes stevia using pure cool water so I’d say the liquid drops are paleo.
It’s so ridiculously easy to make this low carb coconut flour paleo pumpkin mug cake! All you need to do is dump all the ingredients into a ramekin or mug. Then, cook it in the microwave for about a minute and a half.
You’ll get a supersized muffin that big enough for two servings. And, it’s super filling with only 3.4g net carbs! So, you can save the other half for later.
My friend Melissa over at I Breathe I’m Hungry has a huge variety of low carb mug cake recipes. So, check out her site for some more quick and easy baking ideas. In fact, this coconut flour paleo pumpkin mug cake was inspired by this recipe over at Melissa’s blog.
If you want to make this into a little mini cake, you’d just need to slice it in half to make two rounds. Then, stack them with frosting in between and on top. It would be easy to make a small portion of cream cheese frosting like the one used on these pumpkin spice bars.
Hopefully, I’ll get a few more new pumpkin recipes posted over the next month. I’ve been working on a pumpkin fudge recipe so that one might be posted soon. For some other great low carb pumpkin recipes, you can check out this recipe roundup.
I’m really glad to have this coconut flour paleo pumpkin mug cake recipe in my file. As many of you know, I’d like to move to a more paleo diet. Giving up cheese is my biggest problem. I plan to experiment with nut based cheese and to see if it makes a good substitute. Thank goodness I don’t have a nut allergy!

This is just the kind of recipe I love….short list of ingredients with no unidentifiable impossible to find items, quick to make and full of flavor. Lisa has done it again. I’ve been on keto for two years but Lisa is by far the queen of keto. All the others recipes have the taste and texture of cardboard. I may have to buy her cookbooks after all because so far everything I’ve made from her were nothing short of delicious. Thanks for sharing Lisa.
STEVEN LEE WATKINS
Is it ok to substitute erythritol granular or confectioners instead of stevia?
Lisa MarcAurele
It should be okay to just add any sweetener to taste as it’s a small amount that’s needed.
Lisandra Rodríguez
Estoy emocionada por empezar…
Lisa MarcAurele
Wishing you the best in your low carb journey. Hope you enjoy this simple pumpkin mug cake!
Vik
Soooo good! Thanks for this recipe! I topped it with a glaze made out of coconut milk and powdered Swerve.
Cheryl
Tastes great!! Next time I’m adding pumpkin seeds for a bit more protein!
Muriel Fahrion
I’ve made this twice. My addition is topping it with my homemade applesauce.
Lisa
Two great fall flavors in one bite!
Traci
Thank you! This is absolutely amazing, tastes like a warm piece of cake without the frosting. A joy on this chilly night.
Lisa
That does sound like a comforting treat!
Angie
I totally forgot to add the milk and this still turned out AMAZING!!! I made two for snacks for the next day but they didn’t make it that far.
Can’t wait to try them with the milk and see how much better they’ll be!!
Lisa
Wow! Great to know that it worked out without the liquid.
Jeni
I love mug cakes! So easy to make and just the right amount of treat!
Lisa
That’s exactly why I love them!
Kat
Do you have to us liquid sweetener,I don’t have ?
Lisa
You can use any sweetener you have on hand. I’d say you’ll want to use anywhere from 1-2 tablespoons of sugar equivalent.
Taryn
I love mug cakes! Thanks for this new recipe 🙂
Sarah
This looks great! I have been all about pumpkin lately!
Lisa
Thanks Sarah!
Kirsten
Hi, since you only use a couple of tablespoons of pumpkin, how does everyone preserve the rest of the can of pumpkin? Your thoughts please. (I ask because I am the only one on LCHF diet in my family)
Lisa
You can freeze it in two tablespoons to make more. Just thaw in fridge the night before and it will be ready to use in the morning. I was able to make 5 muffins (10 servings) from one can.
Monica Perry
Thanks for the recipe
Michelle Wolfson
How much powdered stevia or Splenda could I substitute for the liquid stevia.
Lisa
You’ll need about 1/8 teaspoon powdered stevia or 2 tablespoons Splenda granular.

With fall approaching, I’ve definitely been bit by the pumpkin spice bug! This looks so quick and easy. I’m not much of a baker, but I sure know how to use a microwave. Mug cakes are my fave! 😛
Lisa
We love the simplicity of mug cakes. My 3 year old has been learning how to make them. She thinks they are so cool.
Kim
It would be nice to have baking directions for an oven. Many people don’t use a microwave anymore.
Lisa
I’d say just bake at 350F until it tests done. You could like bake it quickly in a toaster oven. It’s pretty small to make in a full size oven. Or, you could make a larger batch in the oven.
Nancy
Seriously?
Linda Albonetti
I’ve been making my own version for a while and they are awesome!!!
1 T olive oil
1 egg
1 heaping T of pureed pumpkin
1 t vanilla
**whisk above then add:
1 t baking powder
1 t pumpkin pie spice
1 T coconut flour
For those that can, spread whipped cream cheese on it and it is soooo good!
I can’t wait to try your bread recipes!!
Linda
Lisa
Thanks for the recipe Linda! I have thought about subbing the coconut milk with coconut oil.
Georgina Bomer
This mug cake looks so good!
Lisa

It’s not bad! It’s just a very basic recipe that’s easily customizable, which is what I prefer!
Katrin
Delicious. I am ready for pumpkin! And coconut flour is my new obsession. Will definitely try!
Lisa
It’s always pumpkin season for me! 🙂
STACEY
It great to have an easy mug cake for Fall! Looking forward to making this soon.
Kim | Low Carb Maven
This sounds good. I like muffin recipes that are big enough to save some for later or that I can split between my two kids. Tis the season for pumpkin. Thanks for the recipe.
Lisa
Thanks Kim! It’s always better to have enough to share!
