I whisk all the ingredients together before blasting it in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds on high. I top this one with whipped cream, caramel, powdered sugar and an extra dusting of cinnamon. Simply delicious!

I whipped up this pumpkin mug cake last weekend while my kids were napping. It was super quick, and we loved every bite. The flavors are on point! I added some chocolate chips for a lil twist. Definitely a win in our house!
