So, I had no idea that easy, quick microwave mug cakes were a thing until I saw this guest post on Lucy Knisley’s tumblr, by Lani Fernance. Since then I have made at least five mug cakes, because they are SO EASY.
I haven’t tried this one yet, but it seems like it’d be just delicious. It’s also a super easy recipe to convert to paleo and vegan. I still have a cup of the acorn squash I roasted left over, and it’s highly likely it will end up becoming toasty warm mug cakes!
PS. I’m tired of pumpkin recipes. I mean, I’m not really tired of pumpkin recipes, but I’m tired of using this color scheme. I’ll do one more pumpkin recipe! I’m thinking the pumpkin shrimp curry, how does that sound? Then we can move on with our lives.
Ooooh, I vote for the brownies because, you know, BROWNIES.
^ Agreed!
Just made this for Manbearpig (my son). We’re high altitude, so I added an extra tablespoon of flour and gave it an extra minute after checking on it. It was delicious. Very dense but velvety, too. Thanks for all the pumpkin recipes! Sorry you’re getting sick of the colors. I vote pumpkin brownies, too. I’m allergic to shrimp.
The people have spoken! Pumpkin brownies it is. :D
oooo! this sounds delicious! And PUMPKIN BROWNIES?! Super excited – I love using veg in cakes – there’s something satisfying about using something sneakily :D – loving your comics xxx
ROFL i just noticed Garfield on the mug. XD
Kristin: for reals, I spent a good 20 minutes image searching “garfield mug” to pick the perfect one to use for this comic. :D
Just made a couple of these for a decadent breakfast for my husband and me. (Not that it’s THAT decadent–we just usually don’t eat breakfast.) Also checked it after the first minute and a half and added 30 seconds to microwave time. YUM.
Love this idea! Going to try it with ubi (purple yam).
