This tasty little chocolate pumpkin mug cake is a perfect treat for any time of day! 

Mug Cakes

Mug cakes are the perfect way to control your portions! Making a single serving type of treat definitely helps if you have any problems with overeating. Making a keto, low carb mug cake is a great way to still feel like you're treating yourself but without spiking your blood sugar and causing you to feel like you cheated on your diet. I know for me when I first started eating this way, having a large cake or any other dessert with many servings would have caused me to want to eat a piece or two everyday. You can enjoy dessert on a keto diet but you still need to watch portions if your goal is fat loss. This easy mug cake will be just right for the days a little chocolate craving hits. 

Chocolate Pumpkin Combo

The combination of chocolate and pumpkin are the essence of all things in the fall season. A rich chocolatey flavor combined with pumpkin and spices makes for one moist and delicious little keto mug cake! I'm totally into all things chocolate and pumpkin and have some other amazing recipes you might want to try, like my Chocolate Pumpkin Mousse Cake and my Chocolate Pumpkin Bread.

• 1 tablespoon coconut flour heaping
