Pumpkin ChiChi Mug Cake
A quick and cozy single-serve treat made with Original ChiChi instead of flour or oats. Pumpkin, warm spices, and a touch of maple syrup make this mug cake taste like fall — ready in minutes!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree (about 36g)
- 1/4 cup milk of choice (60ml)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon brown butter, melted (or regular butter)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup Original ChiChi (or any other flavor)
- 3-4 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Grease a ramekin or mug with oil or butter.
- Whisk together pumpkin puree, milk, egg, brown butter, vanilla, and maple syrup until smooth.
- Stir in Original ChiChi, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon until just combined.
- Pour into ramekin.
- Microwave on high for 3 minutes, then check the center. If it’s still soft, cook in 30–60 second bursts until the top is fully set and springy (usually 3½–4 minutes total).
- Let cool for 2–3 minutes before eating. Enjoy warm straight from the ramekin or turn out onto a plate.
Other Optional Toppings
- Try with toasted pecans
- Yogurt
- An extra sprinkle of pumpkin spice
Notes & Variations
Swap option: Use Maple ChiChi instead of Original — just reduce or skip the added maple syrup.
