Ingredients
  

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 tbsp pumpkin puree

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

2 tbsp granulated sugar (or brown sugar for a deeper flavor)

1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy alternatives)

1 tbsp vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional: mini chocolate chips or nuts for topping

Instructions
 

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, sugar, and salt. Whisk together with a fork until well mixed.

    Add the Wet Ingredients: Add the pumpkin puree, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture in the mug. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

      Incorporate Toppings (Optional): If desired, fold in a few mini chocolate chips or nuts for an extra crunch and sweetness.

        Microwave the Mug Muffin: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds (time may vary depending on microwave strength). The muffin should puff up and look set—if it's still wet in the center, microwave in 15-second increments until done.

          Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffin to cool slightly before digging in. For a delicious finishing touch, top with whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired!
