Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon quick 1-minute oats
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons plain pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions
- With a serving spoon, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, milk, egg, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice all together in a large mug until batter is smooth. Ensure no clumps of the dry ingredients are stuck to the bottom of the mug by scraping the bottom while mixing.
- Sprinkle pecans, oats, and pumpkin pie spice onto the top of the breakfast mug cake batter and microwave for 2 minutes and 15 seconds, or until the mug cake is throughly cooked throughout (time may vary depending on microwave type and voltage).
- When the mug cake is ready, it will be steaming hot! Let cool for a few minutes, then drizzle with optional maple syrup. Enjoy soon after cooking!
Notes
The mug cake batter should fill no more than half of your mug before cooking to allow for proper cake expansion while in the microwave. This recipe will make more batter than a typical 8oz mug can hold, so opt for a larger mug when making this recipe.
