These keto mug cakes are best enjoyed fresh but they store well for up to 24 hours. I recommend you reheat these keto pumpkin mug cakes before enjoying.

Can I make this egg free?
Yes, you can make these low carb pumpkin mug cakes egg free by using a flaxegg instead of a chicken egg.
Please note that these keto mug cakes won't rise as high and you are adding carbs to the total carb count.
Oils to use in keto mug cakes
Coconut oil, melted and cooled
Avocado oil
Olive oil (adds a bit of additional flavor)
Ghee, melted and cooled
Butter, melted and cooled
I haven't tried other oils in this low carb mug cake recipe, but I would imagine any kind would work.

You can use fresh or canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) in this keto pumpkin mug cake recipe.
Just note that fresh cooked and pureed pumpkin tend to have more water in it. It shouldn't impact the recipe, but be aware of it.
When you measure your almond flour and coconut flour, make sure to level the tablespoon so extra flour doesn't get into the batter and cause it to be dry.
Double check the expiration dates on the almond flour and coconut flour before making this low carb pumpkin mug cake.
Both flours can go rancid and cause baked goods to dry out or to have a funny taste to them.

Just made this as a treat for my restricted phase one SIBO recovery. I used 365 organic brand Stevia powder which came with a tiny spoon. A pinch of pure stevia is all I needed. Thank you for this recipe!!!!

Shouldn't this recipe call for baking powder, not baking soda?
Four Score Living
You can use either in this recipe.
